01 · About Me

Hello, I’m Jennah.

Jennah Sarhan outdoors

I’m a student, songwriter, and writer who is curious about the way stories travel between people and places.

I spent part of high school in England before returning to the Philadelphia area. Along the way, music became the place where I could write privately, revise patiently, and eventually share something of my own. I am also interested in writing, media, art, and sports.

Official bio

Jennah Sarhan is a high school senior at The Agnes Irwin School in Pennsylvania. Having lived and studied in both the United States and England, she draws inspiration from her international experiences and passion for storytelling.

A singer-songwriter and musician, she has written more than 50 original songs and released her debut album, LOCK & KEY, in 2026. Her song Hurts the Same was named a Top 30 finalist in Song Academy's international Young Songwriter Competition.

At school, she is involved in a number of activities that she is passionate about. She serves as a Peer Writing tutor at the Sharon Rudnicki Writing Center, is a student mentor to younger students as part of the PALS program, and is Co-Captain of the Agnes Irwin JV Tennis team. She previously played varsity soccer for two years in England.

Beyond music and her school activities, Jennah is a community volunteer and the founder of MySNAPBenefits.com, a website she created and launched to help families navigate food assistance programs. Her interests include music, writing, baking, tennis, media, marketing, and entrepreneurship.

Volunteer & intern

My experience here helped me understand food insecurity in the United States. It's something that I am passionate about. I continue volunteering for them in addition to my other work on this issue.

Founder

MySNAPBenefits.com

I created a free resource to make information about food assistance easier to understand. Now available in both English and Spanish, thousands of people visit each month.

02 · Music

Writing what I couldn’t say.

Music has always been a part of my life. I've played piano since the age of 3. I began writing songs at thirteen, after moving to England and teaching myself guitar.

I wrote privately before sharing my songs with other people. Music gives me a way to turn an idea or a feeling into something I can perform and share. All of my music is under the name Jennah Sophia.

03 · Writing

I love stories in every form.

Whether it is a song, a poem, an article, a story, or even a marketing campaign, I love thinking about how ideas are communicated—and how they are received.

Writing lets me experiment with voice, structure, and point of view. The form may change, but the question that keeps drawing me back is similar: what makes someone recognize themselves in a story?

04 · Hobbies

The things I return to.

Some interests give me energy. Others slow me down. I need both.

Tennis

I'm currently co-captain of Agnes Irwin's JV tennis team. Competition and teamwork, along with the accomplishment of continually getting better, keep me motivated.

Soccer

In England, I played varsity soccer during my first two years of high school.

Art

Creating is a part of who I am. I love sketching and working with water colors.

Music

I've been playing piano since I was three years old, taught myself guitar using YouTube videos, and have written over 50 songs. Music has always been a part of my life. It's a way for me to share my thoughts, feelings, and stories with the world.

Baking

I remember cracking eggs with my mom when I was still a toddler. Nearly every weekend, I bake. It relaxes and grounds me, and it brings us together as a family.

05 · Community

Learning, then building.

I've helped build a school in Nepal, work as a volunteer and intern with The Community Grocer in Philadelphia, and run an online resource for those struggling with food insecurity.

Through Community Grocer, I learned more about food insecurity in the United States and about how difficult it can be to find clear, practical information about public benefits. That experience motivated me to found MySnapBenefits.com: a plain-language resource that helps people understand SNAP, prepare to apply through official channels, estimate maximum benefit amounts, and find food assistance.

Founder · Community project

My SNAP Benefits

I created MySnapBenefits.com to help people find clear information about SNAP and reach official state resources. I wanted to make the first steps less confusing.
