WinnerBio
My name is Leah and I am a senior in high school. I am the child of two Haitian immigrants who have always instilled the values of hard work, determination, and faith in God to achieve the goals that I strive for in life. Inspired by mother who was an emergency room nurse during the Covid-19 pandemic, who worked hard to get her master’s degree to become a nurse practitioner, I also aspire to go into the health care industry and become an orthodontist. I plan on majoring in biomedical or health sciences on a pre-dental track with a minor in English or creative writing when I go to college. I also like writing and performing slam poetry, tutoring and mentoring elementary and middle school girls, volunteering at my church, and participating at my school’s Women in Stem club. In my free time, I like reading novels and poetry books, like Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, and Edwidge Danticat. I also enjoy reading Marvel Comics, specifically the Black Panther series written by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
