Background

Born in the Pomona section of Galloway Township, New Jersey, Leonardo moved with her family to Shreveport, Louisiana when she was four years old. Studying Italian in high school helped Leonardo discover her love for foreign languages, but she switched to Spanish for her field of study in college. She was one of the last students out of Louisiana State University in Shreveport to major in a foreign language before the program was discontinued. With her degree, she teaches Spanish at Calvary Baptist Academy.[2]
