Leah joined JKRP in 2022 after graduating from Pennsylvania State University’s Bachelor of Architecture program. While studying architecture at Penn State, she discovered a passion for environmental psychology and further explored how architecture can influence human emotion through her thesis. Leah hopes to begin her path toward becoming a licensed architect in the near future and is very excited to contribute to JKRP’s growth and success.

Outside of work, Leah enjoys spending her summers on the beaches of Ocean City, New Jersey or snowboarding during the winter months. You can also find Leah drawing, painting, and doing graphic design.
