Story
Aleha Syed
(she/her) Mentee
Aleha (uh-lee-ha) loves learning, as weird as it sounds. The rush of learning something difficult, but then finally understanding and getting it right exhilarates her, which explains her love for math and science. However, Aleha does also have a creative side. She loves art; one of her pieces made it to the Metropolitan Museums of Art semi-finals this year. She also loves expanding her horizons and trying new things out! Growing up with immigrant parents, speaking English wasn’t always reinforced, however with the program, she hopes to change that.
