Leah Kubacka, Editor-in-Chief

As a third year member of The Hiller staff, Leah is beyond excited to be Editor-in-Chief! When she’s not in school or doing homework, she can usually be found at her dance studio doing one of the things she enjoys most. Besides dance and school, she always makes time for her favorite things, which are her family, friends, and pets.
