About Leah Newbill

There aren’t many college freshmen who could put “ambulance driver” on their resume, but Leah is one of the few who can. When she was in high school, she volunteered for the Halifax County Rescue Squad twice a week. Her primary job? Driving the ambulance.   “I started volunteering because I love helping people in time of need,” she said.
