Her first poem, “The Coming of Winter,” verbally paints a picturesque winter’s scene, and won second place in the school’s High School Poetry Contest. Focusing on Marketing as her major, Anake Kanike went on to write numerous papers for her Bachelor’s degree, one which was published in the “Journal of Retail Marketing Management Research”.
