Bio

Leslie studied food science at NCSU earning her B.S. in Food Science and a minor in Economics. She spent 6 years in the food industry gaining delicious experience in the confectionery field working on brands like Drumstick and Baby Ruth. International travel was a perk which provided a 6-week sugar confectionery course in Germany as well as trips to Mexico, India and Switzerland.

Leslie took an intentional break from a paycheck and worked the hardest, most rewarding job – raising a family while supporting her husband’s career. Volunteering filled the gap and she led PTSO organizations and school fundraisers that supported her kids’ schools.

Being a dog owner and lover, when the opportunity arose to help launch the BravoWalk brand, Leslie joined Bravo Team.
