Leah West

A theatre aficionado, language-lover, and Grey’s Anatomy fan, Leah West will be studying at Trinity University in Texas next year. Though she doesn’t know for sure what she wants to study, Leah is inspired by her older sister’s track: pre-med, Spanish, and travelling the world along with it.  At Webb, she enjoyed going through all the ups and downs of the school with her closest friends: Savannah Thomas (‘18), Nate Ehrlich (‘18), Maddie Stoddard (‘18), Steven Abouchedid (‘18), Jacob Miller (‘18), Rebecca Whithorn (‘18), and Georgia Newman (‘18). Now, she laughs at the time when she hit a real down: crying all the way through one lab in Integrated Physics and Chemistry with Mr. Jurczak. One of her best friends, Nate Ehrlich (‘18) said, “If I had to describe Leah in the fewest words possible, they would be open, caring, and funny as hell. That may seem generic, but putting her personality into any words is impossible. Ask her to describe herself; she can’t.”  When she goes off to college, Leah, a self-described “caring, compassionate, and fun-loving” person will miss Theme Nights and her favorite teachers Mr. Duque, Mr. Gerken, and Mrs. Fisher.
