Born with an innate passion for writing, Leigh's aspirations were temporarily stifled by the daunting task of mastering the craft. Her voice remained subdued for years, her stories patiently waiting to be unleashed. But then, eighteen hundred days ago, a shift occurred β€” Hark! Fnck rules! Leigh shed the shackles of self-doubt and embraced her unique and relatable voice, enriched by mature women's experiences and perspectives.

Leigh's life has been a rich mosaic, crafted with the tiles of raising three daughters alone, one with special needs. Motherhood alone has been filled with music and colors, falling down and getting back up, and showing her daughters that it’s okay to make mistakes as long as you learn and continue to grow from them. She is making a difference in the world through her actions and influence, and capturing all of its essence into words. These experiences, challenges, and triumphs have shaped her life, adding depth, color, and complexity to her unique journey.

A jack-of-all-trades, Leigh's curiosity, and versatility have finally found their rightful home in the realm of words. She is a wellspring of stories, an astute observer of life's nuances, a teller of tales that connect and empower. Her writing is not merely an act of creation; it is a journey of self-discovery, a means of finding her voice, purpose, and place in the world, leaving behind a trail that will resonate for generations.

Her novella publications and interactive children's series further solidify her prowess as a storyteller, immersing readers in thought-provoking narratives. However, Leigh's passion for storytelling extends beyond minimalist fiction as she deftly navigates the world of cinema with two original feature-length scripts poised to grace the silver screen, and a short that is priming for the film festival circuit. She actively volunteers at film festivals and participates in pre-screenings of films before their public release. Welcome to her online portfolio and beyond.
