Leah was born and raised in Beijing, China. After high school, she moved to New York to attend SUNY Purchase College, where she focused on the intersection between art and environmental science. She eventually earned a bachelor of science in the visual arts. She loves botany and mycology and spends much of her free time gardening or foraging. When she is not outside, she enjoys cooking, working on photo projects, binge-watching TV shows, and cuddling her sweet cat. Leah is proud to be serving as Weir Farm National Historical Park’s community volunteer ambassador. She hopes to make meaningful and long-lasting contributions to this beloved park during her year of service.
