### Biography
Dr. Leahy was born and raised in Wisconsin. She attended New York University and worked in finance and consulting before earning her medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin. She completed her Internal Medicine residency at the University of Wisconsin and worked in hospital medicine before pursuing a Geriatrics fellowship at Vanderbilt University.

She has practiced Geriatrics since 2015 in a variety of care settings, including outpatient primary care at a PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) clinic, as medical director of an ACE (Acute Care of the Elderly) unit in an academic hospital, and most recently as a cognitive assessment specialist in consultative practice.

She is committed to helping people age with grace and values a holistic, collaborative approach to care - always guided by what matters most to patients and their caregivers.

Dr. Leahy currently lives in Milwaukee, WI, with her partner. In her spare time, she loves live music, good food, traveling and going on self-curated adventures involving hiking, backpacking and biking.
