A native of Oakland, California, Leigh moved to New York City after getting a bachelor's in communications from UC Davis in 2009. She kicked off her East Coast tenure with a bang when she landed a job as an editor at a teen magazine.
She went on to hold senior editorial positions at The Huffington Post, Elite Daily, and Mindbodygreen. During this time she developed an interest in both health and wellness and social media, so she became a yoga instructor and started helping small businesses and individuals increase their social presence on the side.
In 2008 she decided to bite the bullet and go freelance, and she now splits her time between social media management and freelance writing for publications like HuffPost, Glamour, Well + Good, Byrdie, Parade.com, and many more. You can follow her on Instagram here.
