Shanelle studied French and Spanish language and literature at the University of Manitoba, where she developed a deep passion for literary analysis and developed her linguistic skills with the support of her professors, instructors, and peers. Her studies spanned 18th- to 20th-century French literature, literary space and architecture, New France literature, Spanish-English translation, and Latin grammar.

Seeking a technical perspective on language, she continued her studies at the Université de Saint-Boniface’s School of Translation and Interpretation. There, she specialized in English-French and French-English translation, corpus linguistics, lexicology, syntax, and semantics.

Now a graduate student in the Department of French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Shanelle is privileged to engage with a community of brilliant minds, advancing her expertise in French literature, language, and culture. Currently working in the Public Sector, her research sits at the intersection of natural language processing, linguistic theory, and computational security, with a focus on automated text analysis, threat intelligence, and secure language-based systems. Passionate about bridging technology and linguistics, she contributes to research that deepens the understanding of language structure while exploring its applications in digital security, encryption, and cyber threat detection.
