Campus Spotlight: Balancing College as a Student Mother

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at PSU chapter.

Leasia Parmelee is not only pursing a major in human development and family studies at Penn State’s University Park campus. She is also raising two kids. Parmelee lives with a roommate and her two children, 4-year-old daughter Aliyah and 2-year-old son Zaniel, in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. Parmelee also manages to balance a job at Dunkin Donuts in State College, working as much as she can handle with her already hectic schedule. Watch this feature on a very interesting woman studying at Penn State and living her best life.

Allie Maniglia served as the Campus Correspondent for Her Campus at Penn State from 2017-2018. She majored in public relations with minors in international studies and communication arts and sciences. If she's not busy writing away, you can find her planning her next adventure (probably back to the U.K.), feeding an unhealthy addiction to HGTV or watching dog videos on YouTube.
