Yeileny Lopez, also known as Lenny, is a proud senior in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Coral Gables Senior High. She is extremely grateful and proud to say that this year will be her fourth and last year in CavsConnect. Outside of CavsConnect, she likes to participate in several clubs such as SECME, National Honor Society, National English Honor Society, French Honor Society, and Interact. If you know Yeileny, then you know that she loves to write, read, listen to music, binge-watch TV shows and movies, but most importantly, she loves to learn new things. As her journey in high school comes to end, she hopes to attend a top college where she can major in either Psychology or Neuroscience on a Pre-Med track in the near future.
