Hi! My name is Asia Leach and I'm a third-year student at the University of Cincinnati majoring in Speech Language Hearing Sciences. I'm also a part of the Turner Scholars Program and a Cincinnatus Scholar. On campus, I serve as a peer leader within my major, the Vice President for the Turners Scholar program, the social media chair for MC2, and a Residential Advisor.
In the future, I envision myself becoming a speech pathologist. This aspiration was sparked during my time in a summer program where I learned about the increasing number of speech impediments diagnosed in young children. Opportunities like this challenge me to consider diverse perspectives, articulate various topics, and develop innovative solutions. I aim to use my voice as a gift to others, building their confidence and abilities to use their own.
Some of my passions and hobbies include visual art/painting, cooking, thrifting, creative projects, and bible study.
Art has always been a part of who I am. Since a young age, I'd use pictures as a way of expression and communication. Attending both middle school and high school majoring in visual arts allowed me to grow my artistic abilities and craft my own personal style. Since high school I have earned two Silver Key scholastic Art Awards and one Gold Key Scholastic art awards, along with earning the Louisville Emerging Innovator Art Award. and having done to murals- one of which was held at the Muhammad Ali Center Musuem!
My faith is also a big aspect of who I am. Spending time reading the word and in the presence of the Lord has been a growing aspect of my character. Finding Jesus saved my life and has allowed me to grow into the person I am today. Being able to find community that I can confide in along with being a light to those I come across means so much to me. It has inspired me to start my own bible study group for young ladies in college along with joining the leadership team at my local church. I strive to impact those around me with joy and care as I have been so blessed to receive.
