Biography:

Leslie has been providing lactation support in Central New Jersey for over 20 years - as a La Leche League (LLL) leader for 20 years, an IBCLC for WIC from 2014 to 2016, and in private practice IBCLC since 2011.

Leslie grew up in New York and New Jersey. She graduated from Cook College/Rutgers with a BS in Biochemistry, and from Rutgers University/UMDNJ with a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Her difficulties with early breastfeeding, the help she received from LLL, and challenges with returning to work laid the foundation for her understanding of the importance of skilled and compassionate lactation and infant feeding support.
