Born and raised in Portsmouth, Front Royal, Richmond and the DC area, Leslee is the third child of seven who learned a strong work ethic from her loving parents.  Leslee taught sixth, seventh, and eighth grades before moving west to support her husband’s career, but came back home to Virginia in 1986 and delved into the technology field to support her three young children. 

Leslee tackled many large projects in her career as a technical lead, and then moved on to bigger challenges of monitoring and managing large server and network systems. She was not only an Advanced Systems Engineer but also became a Software Architect. Due to her skills in dealing with very technical requirements from senior executives and technical workers, Leslee was troubleshooting and resolving complex problems. She would perform site assessments for companies and government agencies seeking continuous improvement. As part of the improvement process, she would often develop and teach technical classes tailored to the needs of the customer. 

Leslee holds an expert certification in implementing policies and procedures. Beyond this certification, Leslee has real world experience in solving problems, improving sites, and providing win-win results.
