About

my story

My name is Leo Shiff. I am currently a freshman at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. I am studying Media and Journalism and expect to major in the journalism section of the Hussman School. I hope to one day be a film director or media producer. I love to spend time with my family and travel with them. I have a golden retriever named Cody he is my best friend. In high school I was a member of the Varsity lacrosse team as well as philanthropy clubs such as Families 4 Families which I started. Philanthropy is very important to me as I love to donate and give back time to those in need.
