Leah, originally from Dayton, has embraced diverse experiences living in Seattle and the Carolinas. Not a fan of Ohio's chilly winters, she prefers cozying up by a warm fire with a glass of red wine and an engaging book. Her passions include playing sand volleyball, swimming, and taking long, rejuvenating hikes in the woods. In her professional life, Leah has been deeply involved in the non-profit sector, tackling vital issues such as food insecurity, substance addiction, and mental health. As a mother to three daughters, aged 21, 15, and 11, she skillfully juggles the roles of counselor, cook, and chauffeur. Her husband Philip, whose finance job she jokingly deems dull, joins her in finding joy in life's adventures. Together, they relish time with their two golden retrievers, monthly silent disco nights, and planning excursions along the scenic M22. Leah's time in Seattle was a turning point in her appreciation for wines, particularly those from Washington, sparking a deep-seated passion for the complexities and traditions of winemaking. This passion, coupled with her enthusiasm for assisting others in discovering their own loves and interests, makes Leah an indispensable part of The Parlor team.
