She has won the Rare Inspirations writing contest, she was the grand prize winner of the Stop Underage Drinking Essay Contest, and wrote and gave the Senior Oration at her high school graduation in 2008. Leslie interned for the Spring Semester of 2009 for credit hours at the Central Resource Library with Angel Dew.
