After a dynamic career supporting her family as a single mother, working in AI, government intelligence, and later leading nonprofits focused on mental health, Leslie decided to explore something entirely new: fiction writing.
What began as a creative experiment with short stories blossomed into her debut novel, Secrets in the Mirror, set to release this September. Along the way, Leslie discovered that writing was more than a creative outlet—it was a transformative journey of self-discovery.
