“Reliable. Dedicated. Confident. These are just a few of the first words that come to mind when I remember getting to work and learn from Leah Juliett. I believe we are all experts with our own expertise and experiences to share through the work do and the stories we tell. As a communications intern, they hit the ground running offering there talent, writing, and research skills. They collaborated with my team of interns that supported content for website, social media, and online press. From podcasts to articles, they helped amplify international LGBTIQ stories. They asked questions, and were always ready to give a helping hand no matter how small the task. Their superpower, for me, was their vulnerability to be open about their challenges and sharing their stories. In communications this is important to build relationships and create a collaborative environment open to storytelling. I highly recommend Leah Juliette and look forward to seeing them continue to grow and to give to others.”
