Leah was born in Starkville, MS and has two older siblings. Before starting kindergarten, she moved to Germantown, TN, a suburb of Memphis. During elementary school and middle school, she became involved in community theatre, school chorus and solo vocals. These experiences allowed her to become confident on stage. Just before starting high school, her family followed a job transfer to the Atlanta area. It was then that Leah began to pursue TV and film acting. She enrolled at The Actor's Scene in Buford, GA, where she received great training and support. In less than a year, she signed with an agent and a manager. She continues to train and improve her acting skills.
