Leslie Morales

Leslie Morales has no shame in expressing her obsession with the Shrek movies. During her freshman year, she was known for always wearing a green shirt that was often associated with the infamous green ogre. Leslie recalls one of her favorite memories at Webb being “Shrek night,” where she and her friends went go to the Hooper balcony and binged all the movies in the franchise. In these moments, her closest friends would describe her as talkative, energetic, and unapologetically herself, just like Shrek. Aside from having the wittiest remarks, Leslie’s friends say she never fails to make them feel appreciated, and on top of that, she gives the best hugs. As a dorm prefect and an admission ambassador, Leslie’s caring persona succeeds in making both younger and older Webbies feel welcomed. When Josie Chow (‘22) came to Webb as a transfer student in her junior year, Leslie was the first to reach out and make her feel like she belonged in the community. Additionally, as someone who has been on Webb’s cross country team for the last four years, Leslie carries her energetic character onto the track. Naturally, her favorite event is Zombie Apocalypse, where she enjoys the thrill of being chased by her peers. Although she will be starting her college education in Massachusetts, Leslie will miss dorm life in Jones. Passionate about sociology and political science, she plans to study at Wellesley College, where she hopefully will continue to share her enthusiasm for Shrek with the new friends that she will make in the East Coast.
