Author: Leeanne Perez

Leeanne Perez is a San Diego native who found her way into journalism almost by accident and stayed because she couldn't picture doing anything else. She covers lifestyle, culture, and the food scene for West Coast Observer, with a particular affection for the border regions and the communities that navigate two cultures in ways the rest of the country rarely sees. Her writing has a warmth that readers tend to notice, and her restaurant recommendations are treated as gospel. She surfs on weekends and takes it personally when a good taqueria closes.
