Leslie is passionate and goal-driven when it comes to driving proven, measurable results. 

Her grasp of client needs at the administrative and classroom level allows for comprehensive solutions through collaborative work. Leslie loves having an impact in the lives of students and in education through working with RYE to help clients achieve their goals, especially in the procurement arena. Leslie loves sourcing for opportunities that would be a perfect fit for our clients’ offerings as well as crafting the perfect written responses to RFPs to help them become awarded vendors in districts across the U.S.
