Hello! My name is Leah, and I was born in New York City but grew up in Haiti a country located in the Caribbean sea. I’m currently 20 and a student at the University of Pittsburgh, where I’m studying Economics with an eye toward a career in law. My upbringing in a cosmopolitan household shaped my love for exploring cultures, languages, and history. This curiosity inspired me to dive into studying abroad, and I’ll be spending the upcoming semester at Sciences Po in Reims, France.
I’m thrilled to share my experiences with you and can’t wait to immerse myself in French culture—its language, traditions, and unique way of life. I look forward to connecting with new people and gaining fresh perspectives while embracing this exciting chapter!
