Beautiful Monmouth Row and what Phil Montanus at the groundbreaking ceremony is now Press on Monmouth! 3 Meet Our Resident of the Month: Leah Leah is originally from Baton Rouge, La., and yes, she loves crawfish and is a diehard Saints fan. She graduated from Southern University and A&M College with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. After graduating, she joined one of GE’s leadership programs and has been working there for over five years. Leah has lived in five different states and traveled internationally for work. After two years Leah and Lola! Great picture, Leah! of the leadership program, she decided to move to Newport, Ky., and work out of their downtown location in . Leah is currently a technical product manager for GE Aviation. She has been living at Monmouth Row for a little over two years! Leah decided to move to Newport because it is super close to downtown and it is surrounded by a lot of good restaurants. The biggest bonus is she gets to take the Southbank shuttle to the office. Nine months ago, Leah purchased the cutest little puppy named Lola Bear (or Lola Mae when she is fussing at her). She is an energetic, curious and always-ready-to-play little puppy. She spends most of her time looking out the window or sleeping while mommy works. In Leah’s free time, besides playing with Lola, she is very passionate about helping others, especially young girls. Most of her time is dedicated to supporting and working with various organizations like Girl Scouts, Girls Who Code and different ministries at her church. Even with work and volunteer commitments, she finds time to try different restaurants with friends and watch Netflix. As a transplant to the Cincinnati area, Leah maintains a close relationship with her family and friends back in Louisiana and travels home as often as possible. If you see her walking Lola, stop and say hello!

6 Tips from Glen It’s a great time to use the “new” grill on our beautiful patio. Please make sure you turn off all the burners and the gas supply when you are finished. Also, New patio grill! please be courteous and clean the grill once you are finished, so it’s ready for the next resident. There are cleaning supplies as well as a wire grill brush in the storage area under the grill. We have also ordered new cushions for the patio, and of course there is a foam shortage, so we had to buy another patio set temporarily until we get the new cushions. Happy grilling!
