She serves as U.N. representative for the Rome-based NGO, The Good News Agency, and has written numerous articles published on GNA’s website, and made available to over 10,000 media and editorial journalists of daily newspapers and periodical magazines, and of radio and television stations in 54 countries, as well as to over 3,000 NGO and service associations in the world, and 1,600 high schools, colleges and universities. Lesley has had columns in newspapers, has led schools and non-profits, and continues to assist organisations with their creative promotional and fundraising strategies to promote global transformation. She has worked with numerous authors.

Lesley’s experience spans more than 25 years in the Arts, fundraising, development, strategic planning, and organisational transformation. She has served as Development Officer for two not-for-profit organisations, crafting their funding strategies, literature, donor relations outreach, and grant writing proposals. Through these experiences, Lesley has become an innovative leader with years of experience leading continuing education training, professional development, continuous improvement, and diversity programs ~ often providing public speaking presentations at conferences.

Lesley has edited four books and has authored one book manuscript. She has had columns in newsletters and newspapers, and has appeared on television.

She has an A.B. with Distinction from The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Prior to obtaining her Master’s degree in global- and peace education, Lesley served at two advertising and public relations agencies. Her doctoral studies emphasised leadership styles and community development, civic virtue, and ways of galvanising a new “Town Square” or “Assembly” to maximise the common good; civic engagement and civic renewal across cultures, generations, worldviews and eras.

Working to anchor dialogue, the “emerging global paradigm” and cultures of peace initiatives is key to her service within a variety of non-governmental organisations, where she serves as a writer, fundraiser, catalyst and convener.
