Leah is one of our dedicated Medical Assistants at our Norman Healthplex Clinic.
Leah was born in Cairo, Egypt, and moved to the U.S. in 2009āfirst to Houston and later to Edmond, where she grew up after her dadās job brought the family to Oklahoma.
Sheās always had a heart for helping others, especially those going through difficult times, which inspired her passion for medicine. Leah graduated from OU in May with a degree in Biology and is taking a gap year before applying to PA school in 2026. Through shadowing experiences, sheās developed a growing interest in pediatrics and oncology.
Leahās favorite part of working at Immediate Care is the peopleāher supportive coworkers and the providers who are always willing to teach and explain. She says ICO has helped her grow her skills more than she expected, from administering medications to performing X-rays and other hands-on tasks.
Outside of work, Leah enjoys spending time with her younger twin sisters and nephew. Though thereās a nine-year age gap, her sisters are her best friends. She also does community service and gets together with her sorority. Leah also volunteers at OU Childrenās Hospital. She loves relaxing and is trying to get more into reading.
Leah is a music lover, so if she could have lunch with anyone, it would be R&B singer Brent Faiyaz.
Leah was nominated for Joyfulness. Itās been amazing to see how much more joyful and positive Leah has become lately. Her attitude is lighter, more upbeat, and contagiousāitās refreshing to see her energy shift for the better! Thank you, Leah for all that you do!
