Leah has evaluated thousands of applications over twelve combined years working at the admissions offices at MIT and BU, and earned her Master of Education in Higher Education Leadership & Policy Studies at Boston University. She is well-versed in preparing for highly selective and STEM-focused admission processes.
As a supervisor of the campus visit and customer service teams throughout her tenure in both offices, Leah took the lead in supporting prospective students, applicants, and their families as they navigated the admissions process. The core of Leah’s work has always been dedicated to making a seemingly daunting, impersonal system both manageable and individualized.
Once a life-long New Englander, Leah now resides with her husband Patrick in Chicago. In her free time, she loves taking long walks around the city parks, watching and discussing excellent scripted television, and crocheting.
