Leonard joined the WSFA 12 News team as a digital content producer in July 2022.
Leonard joined us after spending more than a year at our sister station, WTVM, in Columbus, Georgia. He interned at WTVM in Spring 2017 and graduated from Alabama State University later that year. After college, he began working as a social media coordinator for an Alabama casino group.
Growing up, the Tuskegee native always had a passion for news. When he’s not working, Leonard enjoys drawing and eating at new restaurants.
