Leslie completed her masters in Mental Health Counseling at Minnesota State University, Mankato. She began her career with the Center for Creative Arts Therapy 6 years ago as a Marketing Intern, and has traversed her way through multiple positions as our Marketing Specialist, Marketing Coordinator, Outreach Coordinator, and now oversees training students and community events. 

Leslie’s favorite aspect of her role is speaking with potential students who have just learned about the fields of Drama Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapy and are excited to finally find a career path that resonates with them. Whether you’re a seasoned professional looking to add something new to your practice or an undergraduate exploring your graduate degree options, Leslie is happy to answer any questions you have about the Creative Arts Therapies and becoming a Registered Drama Therapist or Registered Expressive Arts Therapist! 

When Leslie isn’t educating on the Creative Arts Therapies, she lets her theatrical side out by directing theatre at Lemont High School and auditioning for shows in her spare time!
