Leah does not always plan her talks in advance by using a standard speech that she has created beforehand.  Instead, she prefers to tailor her thoughts and ideas to the audience she is speaking to.  

Leah is unwavering in her vision to provide exceptional, compassionate, highly talented clinical-research and clinical-care professionals to areas that traditionally experience healthcare disparities.
