I create meaningful stories

and bring them to life.

Hi, I’m Leslie.

I am a director, writer and producer with experience spanning documentary, branded, podcast and digital video. I approach storytelling as a writer-first. My first step is to understand the central “why” of a story and unveil the universal truths that create compelling and authentic narratives. As a director, I energize talent and production crews around a collective, creative vision and guide all creators towards a cohesive and emotionally resonant story. 

I bring these skills to Diagonal Media, where I am proudly a Supervising Producer and Head of Branded Content. Our goal is to move into more branded and commercial content in 2024 and 2025 - come and work with us!

I also write fiction. I am currently working on my first, full-length novel and my short story, “Nobody is Happy in Kentown, Missouri” is available on Amazon.
