Her love of travel has taken Lesley to more than 30 countries and honed her cultural fluency as evidenced by the mutual respect she and her clients share. Prior to entering the profession, she worked in private equity and university administration, and for a gubernatorial campaign. The mother of three, she actively gives back to her community as a member of the Women’s Board of The House of the Good Shepherd, which provides safe shelter for women and children fleeing domestic violence.
