Leslie has had a diverse and rewarding career in the Arts. After graduating with an honours degree in Acting from the Ohio University School of Theatre, Leslie worked for several years as an award-winning professional actor in the States. Since moving to the UK she has continued to share her love of the performing arts with students, performers, and communities through her work as a musical director, theatre director, voice-over artist, and theatre arts teacher. She works with numerous private acting and singing students, conducts several choirs, and facilitates singing workshops for all ages, experience, and ability. In the summer, Leslie is Creative Director of the Inclusion Project for the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod. Leslies’s fun and informal style quickly helps people come out of their shells and find their self-confidence. Leslie has vast experience working with those living with various physical, educational, and intellectual challenges, and her work is grounded in the ethos of inclusion, empowerment, and self-acceptance — all while having fun! Everybody has something worthwhile to contribute to the world of performing arts. Let’s go!
