About Me

Leslie's dedication to her passions is truly inspiring. After graduating from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, she continued her studies at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, where she earned her Master of Fine Arts. In 2012, she made a bold move to Newport Beach and began a career in residential home development. Despite her demanding job, she found time to nurture her creative side, working on her novel during lunch breaks and in the evenings.

Leslie's life is a beautiful balance of her passions and her family. When she’s not immersed in literature or competing in Southern California's hunter/jumper circuit, she cherishes every moment with her husband and two young daughters. She appreciates the simple joys of life, never missing an opportunity to savor a good meal, enjoy a fine glass of wine, and spend time with loved ones.
