Leroy received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Vocal Music and Pedagogy from Gettysburg College in 2012 and dual Master of Education degrees in Elementary and Special Education from Lesley University in 2014 as a fellow in the alternative teacher preparation program Urban Teachers. Leroy used his skills in music, education, empowerment, and advocacy to educate students from historically marginalized communities in Baltimore, Maryland, Prince George’s County, Maryland, and Washington D.C. as a career special education teacher, curriculum development specialist, instructional coach, and education advocate for 14 years.

Most notably, Leroy’s work as a special education teacher and intervention leader at the National Blue Ribbon dual language immersion school, Oyster Adams Bilingual School, in Washington D.C., led to high academic outcomes for the entire school’s student population in mathematics. In August of 2020, Leroy founded Realized Solutions, LLC (doing business as Realized Curriculum Solutions) to support educational organizations with removing curricular barriers and redesign learning to increase the academic outcomes of neurodivergent students of color. His work has positively impacted over 10,000 students throughout the United States with his partners like The Center for Civic Education, Innovageous, The Innovative Learners, Carnegie Learning and Barbershop Books.
