Leigh has previously worked in Human Resources Reporting for the Queensland Government. Having grown up in Queensland, she moved to Hobart over a decade ago with her family in search of a healthy lifestyle and better (less humid) climate.
Leigh brings lived experience as a parent of three children, two with disability, informing her advocacy and leadership in the disability community.
In her spare time, she enjoys camping and riding her horses. She lives on the fringe of Hobart with a menagerie of horses, alpacas, dogs, cats, chickens, hermit crabs, a rabbit and a budgie.
