Leila is the most experienced editor of the 2020-2021 Armijo Signal.

Leila Harper, Beyond the Gates Editor

Leila Harper is a reader. A resident Californian, she has always been more adept in speaking out in the written form. Now a Senior, she enjoys reading, writing, listening to music, and watching movies; all with her dog, of course. Ever-so the socially anxious, opinionated Gen Z teenager, she writes for The Armijo Signal to speak out about her passions: feminism, environmentalism, helping those in need, and of course, books.
