Leslie has been playing tennis since she was 3 years old, having grown up in a tennis family in rural Ohio. She earned a full scholarship for tennis to play for a Division-I college in Ohio and then Idaho. Throughout her under-grad and graduate years she taught tennis in the local junior programs during the summer. Before moving to the Phoenix area last June, Leslie lived in Houston, TX for 13 years. While in Houston, she spent 11 years running adult and junior programming at one of the largest tennis clubs in the city, Club Westside. She then became the Jr. Program Director at Lakeside Country Club where she revitalized the program after a natural disaster. Since moving to Arizona with her husband in 2019, Leslie coached at the CC @ DC Ranch, and Scottsdale Ranch Parks before the pandemic hit. This past summer, she directed a non-profit summer tennis camp for high school students in the Phoenix Union School District at Phoenix Tennis Center. Leslie is a USPTA certified professional and Net Generation USTA coach. Her passion for teaching tennis extends to people of all walks of life, young and old.
