Leo Cheng

Do not ever let Leo Cheng’s seemingly reserved personality fool you, because those who have had a chance to get to know him would probably unanimously agree to finance a documentary called “Inside the Mind of Leo Cheng.” Born and raised in Hong Kong, Leo grew up speaking Cantonese, Mandarin, and English in one of the city’s elite K-12 international schools. Shortly after arriving at Webb, Leo took up various extra-curricular activities and developed a particular interest in theatre tech, where his valiant behind-the-scenes efforts reflect his real-life disposition, someone who is always willing to do the dirty work that goes unnoticed. Leo is a passionate learner driven by his sheer curiosity rather than mere letter grades and often lets his clever, sharp-witted personality show through his well-coordinated pranks. Any faculty member who has been Leo’s dorm head will recall the times he constructed a mannequin on his bed to scare teachers who were conducting room checks. Leo will be continuing his studies at the University of Rochester, where he is excited to adapt to a different environment and connect with new peers of common interests.
