Leah Stevens is a senior who is constantly seen with a smile on her face and she loves to make people laugh. She lives by the motto “YOLO”, and if you don’t know where she is, check the pool because she’s probably working on her dives. If she’s not at the pool you can find her hanging out with her puppy named Cali or buying a mango at Mariano’s. She loves manta rays, late night car rides with friends, “Parks and Recreation”, and stickers. You can reach Leah at 819635@hinsdale86.org.
