Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi Friends,
My name is Leslie. I have worked in the performing arts since childhood, and began my professional career at 14, appearing in an original adaptation of A Christmas Carol for Carousel Theatre, in Vancouver, BC.
I have appeared in numerous film & television productions including:
THE HAUNTING HOUR, SUPERNATURAL, JOHN DOE, AND POLICE ACADEMY: THE SERIES.
I have studied acting with some of the industry's leading professionals,
including: Larry Moss, Joe Palese, William B. Davis, Barbara Deutsch, and at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in Nee York City.
I have also worked as an off-camera audition reader for some of Vancouver's top casting directors sitting in on countless auditions.
Never to shy away from personal growth and development I continue to enrich my soul by studying meditation with leading experts, and spirituality through Unity WorldWide Ministries.
Along with my husband, Thomas we are the proud parents of teenage twin girls, and we co-produce the popular podcast, THE BLOOM LIVING PODCAST. The show is all about featuring amazing people with exceptional gifts to share.
I believe caring for and nurturing the mind is essential in an actors development, and am passionate about sharing my joy of acting.
