Leigh Ann Hildebrand has been a bay area resident since 1999 and attended her first BayCon in 2000. In the intervening years, her participation in fandom has been flavored by a variety of interests: costuming, fanzines, party hosting, parenting, public transit, sexuality, gender identity, and religion in many flavors and forms. Right now, she's a doctoral student at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley and is serving as Ms. Santa Clara County Leather 2018. She's also an occasional writer of short erotic fiction, role-playing game materials, and personal essays.
