Leah is a licensed architect in California, having earned her Master of Architecture from UT Austin in 2021 and her bachelor’s degree in political science from USC. After deciding that law school wasn’t for her, she pivoted to studying architecture, a field in which she felt she could have a more tangible impact on her community and environment. Leah has focused her work on the building sciences, looking for ways to reduce the negative impacts that the built environment has on the planet and its ecosystems. Upon earning her master’s degree, she moved to New York City, where she spent time managing construction projects and gaining hands-on building site experience.

At Terrain, she enjoys collaborating with coworkers and other trades to find optimal solutions to organizational and logistical problems. When she is not working, Leah enjoys studying languages and getting outside with her dog, Archie.
