Lesley has been teaching dance in Nova Scotia, specifically Cape Breton, for over eight years. She is currently stepping back from teaching and choreographing to work full‐time in a public relations/communications role with the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia. She recently completed the Public Relation Graduate Program at NSCC, serving the past year on the Canadian Public Relations Society Nova Scotia Chapter as the student representative for NSCC. Lesley is anxious to be a representative voice for the Cape Breton dance community and knows that her passion and love for dance in our province will be a welcomed strength as a Dance Nova Scotia board member.
