Leah Ries
I am from Earlville, Iowa and I completed a degree in Biology at
Upper Iowa University before attending Allen. I chose Allen because of the easy
transition and partnership between schools, the small class sizes, and high
pass rate. I have enjoyed getting to know my classmates and professors in the
classroom and clinical settings.
My Advice to future students: Be comfortable being uncomfortable
and take advantage of the opportunities that are presented to you. The best way
to learn is to do things hands on, especially in the clinical setting.
Outside of class and clinicals, I enjoy spending time with friends
and family, cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes, and traveling.
