Leah Millis is currently a photojournalism student at Metropolitan State College of Denver.  Born and raised in Colorado, Millis has been taking photographs with an SLR camera for 10 years this June. After traveling to Haiti in 2006 along with Cambodia, Thailand and Nepal, she decided to pursue photojournalism with an emphasis on social documentary. Millis first attended Knox College where she shot for The Knox Student for two years before transferring to Metro where she has been working at The Metropolitan for the last year.

Last summer Millis interned at the Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald and she is looking forward to an internship at The Denver Post this summer. In the fall, Millis plans to return to Haiti to work on a post-earthquake update.
