Getting to know Leah

My favorite part about competing for Brandeis, other than my teammates, is: Playing the sport I love for a school that already means so much to me. I can't wait to represent Brandeis in the best way possible on and off the court.

My favorite athletic moment is: When I connect with one of my hitters, as if a light bulb went off and when we finally succeed at a certain play we’ve been trying to perfect for weeks or months. Luckily, I have many of these moments with my teammates.

My favorite non-Brandeis athletic moment is: When my U-19 USA Volleyball team won silver at the 2013 Maccabiah Olympics in Israel. It was the most surreal feeling to have lead my team that far at an international level. 

My favorite Brandeis professor is: James Morris (biology) because he makes every lecture engaging and he truly cares about what he’s teaching and his students.

Outside of volleyball, my favorite activity at Brandeis is: Volunteering for Spectrum, which is a Waltham Group that works with kids who have Autism or any type of hyperactive disorder.
