Leah earned a certificate in Independent Educational Consulting (IEC)  through UC Irvine, as well as having certification in academic coaching and career coaching through InsideTrack. She is currently accepting juniors and seniors as clients, for both individual sessions on goal-setting, college list-building, or essay writing, as well as holistic consulting packages to help students and parents work through the span of the college enrollment process. Leah's focus is on demystifying the college process to help students and parents enjoy the process and to find the colleges that are the best fits for each individual. 

In addition to her work with college consulting and coaching, Leah has an MA in English and an MFA in creative writing and has worked and taught in higher education for 20+ years, including teaching English composition, literature, creative writing, running a campus-wide writing center, serving as department chair and admissions advisor, designing curriculum used at colleges around the state of CO, and mapping curriculum development as well as degree pathways. This insider perspective of colleges gives her special insight into navigating higher education. Leah lives in the mountains west of Denver with her children and other creatures. She published her first novel, Burying Norma Jeane, in 2024, which was nominated for the CO Book Award and CAL Literary Award.
