Judith Leitch

Judith is a sexual and gender minority health researcher, student, social worker, and author who has focused on improving health and behavioral health outcomes for minority populations via research and social action. She is a long time volunteer with Whitman-Walker Health, where she has had the opportunity to serve as a therapist and research partner. She is also a long-time reviewer at Kirkus Reviews, which has helped develop her voice as an author, for better or worse. Judith has a BA from Johns Hopkins University, and MSW from the University of Maryland, and is a PhD candidate in social work at the University of Maryland. She holds a number of academic and social honors, but she would rather talk about her cats.
