Leonova started to skate at age four when her mother read an announcement about figure skating classes. Her younger brother and sister also skated, but meanwhile retired from the sport. Leonova's idol in skating is two-time World Champion Irina Slutskaya (RUS).Her current coach is Alla Piatova, among whose pupils is also Russian champion Ksenia Doronina.
She placed 4th at the 2009 European Figure Skating Championships and was then placed on the team to the 2009 World Junior Figure Skating Championships, her first junior-level competition of the season, where she won the event.
