Kayleen Leetch

Kayleen’s love for the outdoors began in her small Iowa hometown, where she sought out every wild space she could find. Her wanderlust led her to pursue a degree in mass communications at Northwest Missouri State, initially envisioning a career in travel and wildlife photography. However, a photography internship in Oregon introduced her to conservation, igniting a passion that brought her back to Iowa to advocate for stronger environmental efforts. Today, she explores parks with her family and works alongside dedicated volunteers to support INHF’s mission— ensuring that kindred spirits searching for wild spaces won’t have to look so hard.
