Meet Leah Maquindang! Leah is a senior in her second and final year of journalism. A fun fact about her is that she was named after Princess Leia from Star Wars, misspelled courtesy of her dad! To add to the fun, her siblings also have Star Wars-themed names. Leah enjoys traveling, hiking, playing pickleball, and spending time with her friends. She’s the president of Dance Club, the vice president of the Asian Pacific Islander Club, and a committed member of many more. Leah wanted to join journalism because she loves to write. She thought this class would teach her to become a better writer and continue to light the spark she has for creativity in literature.
