Leigh in real life
What keeps you busy outside of work?
Most of my free time is spent with my son and dog. My favorite time of day is when we go for a walk in the evening and talk about our day. I also enjoy the outdoors and traveling to new places.
What makes you tick?
Having a sense of purpose is important to me. It motivates me and helps keep me accountable to myself.
How do you give back?
I love helping clients fulfill their philanthropic goals. I learn ways to help clients engage in philanthropy through my roles on professional advisor councils for local community foundations.
