⭐ About Leslie
For over three decades, I've had the privilege of working closely with students and their parents, nurturing the academic and personal growth of families. My home in Fort Collins, Colorado, provides the perfect backdrop for my lifelong commitment to education and outdoor activity. As a parent, I take pride in supporting my two college aged children in their educational pursuits while continuing to contribute to families and children through my work.

💬 Why did you become a parent coach?
I am passionate about helping parents navigate the challenges of raising children, offering them guidance and support for healthy family dynamics. Witnessing parents develop effective parenting skills and witnessing the positive impact on their children's lives is incredibly exciting to me.
