Acting and Writing

Writing

As an access coordinator, disabled actress, and now a writer - Leah hopes to bridge the gap of authentic disability representation in the media. My original pilot has been selected in 5 festivals, and has won 'best TV pilot' in the IMDb certified Carpe Diem Festival; as well as semi-finalist overall in the London International Screenwriting Competition.

Disabled adults deserve to see themselves in beloved characters; disabled children deserve characters they can look up to; and the abled world needs to be able to see us for the value that we have - on our good and our bad days. Especially wrapped up in a fun, exciting, and creative story about dynamic characters in unique situations.

Acting

Having started out in Musical Theatre at university, I fell in love with acting around the same time that I became disabled. Having never known one without the other, acting has truly become a facet of who I am. I will always treasure every opportunity as an actor/performer, and love the unique bond I get to make with every character I play.

Most recently seen portraying Freya in Season 1 of the webseries 'NOIL'.

Trained in acting with Jo Kelly. I am also a dancer, having trained in wheelchair ballet, tap, jazz and modern. I have a mezzo-range voice with a jazz tone to it, and love acting on both stage and screen.

Some examples of projects I've been a part of (both as characters and as myself) can be found below.
