Leah E
Leah grew up in a small town in north Jefferson County. She attended UAB and graduated with a degree in Broadcast Journalism, but never pursued the broadcast side, just the journalism.
Spending most of the last 20 years doing some type of writing, she is currently the community editor of two local publications: 280 Living and Village Living.
A resident of Chelsea since 2005, Leah and her husband Todd have been married for 19 years and have a son, Carson (14), and daughter, Morgan (9).
If there is every downtime in her schedule, you will find Leah at a coffee shop, Chick-fil-A, or spending time with her girlfriends.
