Meet Leigh VanDeWalker:

Leigh is a wife, a working mother, a food and nutrition expert, a malignant melanoma survivor, a grandmother, a parent of an autistic teen, and an avid book collector. She advocates for a common sense approach to life, well being and happiness.

As a food and nutrition expert, Ms. VanDeWalker seeks to share information and recipes to promote a healthy lifestyle. Leigh is experienced in working with everything from institutional healthcare nutrition, corporate groups from 2 to 200, and catered events of all shapes and sizes. Desserts are a specialty... Mmm!

As a malignant melanoma survivor, Leigh is very passionate about skin cancer outreach and education. Making real world information about skin cancer available to adults, youth, and parents of young children is very important, as much of the damage that our skin endures occurs when we are young.
