Oh hey there, I'm
Leigh.
I'm a New York-based freelance writer
I'm so happy you landed here!
A few things you should know...
I launched my journalism career back in 2010 when I landed a job as an editorial assistant at J-14 Magazine. Writing about Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's on-again-off-again relationship was fun, but I wanted more: And so began my career as a journalist writing about health and wellness, personal finance, sustainability, parenting, and entertainment.
In my 11 years in media, I've worked as a senior editor at The Huffington Post, Elite Daily, and Mindbodygreen. Somewhere in between, I also became a certified yoga instructor and wrote a book about smoothie bowls. I'm now the health editor for Parade.com, while also writing for various outlets including The Washington Post, Forbes, Glamour, HuffPost, Byrdie, Well + Good, and many more.
