Meet Miss Leslie

I grew up in Kearney, NE and moved to Lincoln in 2001 to attend UNL. I studied horticulture and graduated in May of 2006 with my Bachelor’s. I began working for City Impact in January of 2007 and I am getting married in April. I have four younger siblings who all still live in Kearney.

I love spending time with my brothers and sisters, my friends and my fiancé Travis. I am interested in development, particularly in the area of agriculture. I have worked with the middle school students at my church in Lincoln for the past couple years, which has instilled a love of working with kids. This experience, combined with the belief that education and literacy are important parts of personal and community development, brought me to work with the IMPACT Learning Center as the part-time Reading With Meaning Coordinator.
