When younger she was a keen competitor at athletics, hockey and football, sports she is still passionate about.

Leanne is completing a degree in combined social sciences and is currently working in the health and social care industry. However, her career goal is to become a full time martial arts instructor and have her own dojo within the Canton academy. She currently shares the teaching duties on Friday evenings at the Folkestone dojo.

Leanne is also a very busy Mother whose children, Leon, Natasha and James, also train within the club.
