Leigh Hyman
Education Success Manager
Before starting her family, Leigh spent time in the classroom teaching elementary school. That experience continues to shape her thoughtful and energetic approach today. Having lived in DC, Florida, and now Dallas, she brings a great mix of experience and perspective to the team.
Leigh is a proud mom of three boys: Michael, Will, and AJ, along with their 5-year-old Rottweiler, Ruth. Most weekends, you’ll find her on the sidelines watching AJ play football or in the kitchen cooking up something delicious for her always-hungry crew. She also loves music, basketball, football, and cheering on her favorite teams—the Mavs and the Cowboys!
