Constellation Leader: Leila Hwang, BC 2014
Hello, my name is Leila Hwang and I'm a junior majoring in biology. I was born in Korea but have seen many parts of the world such as China, Japan, Hong Kong, Italy and France. I lived in Vancouver for two years when I was younger and have often visited the United States. I love travelling and meeting new people and am interested in pursuing a career related to health. I've volunteered in hospitals and am the biggest fan of Grey's Anatomy. I also adore animals and kids and have experience teaching English to middle school students. In my free time I enjoy New York City and its vibrant culture, watching musicals, hunting for excellent food, and exploring Greenwich Village. I'm very excited to be the Fornax constellation leader and would like to be a friend for all its members!
