Leeanna Torres

Leeanna T. Torres is a native daughter of the American Southwest, with deep Indo-Hispanic roots in New Mexico. She spent 2001 thru 2015 as environmental professional working in and throughout the American West. In 2014 she was chosen as one of the two writers-in-residence for the Aldo & Estella Leopold Residency Program.
