Bio
My name is Leslie and I am originally from Seattle, Washington, though bouts of wanderlust temporarily relocate me at times. I graduated from Bastyr University in 2009 with a Bachelor’s of Nutrition and promptly went to South Africa to serve in an orphanage and a hospice. I dedicated much of my time to the orphanage, but I worked with nutrition on the side, in particular with community nutrition classes and hospice care.
Through my time in South Africa, I developed compassion for the HIV/AIDS crisis that ravishes the country and the community I came to serve, which branched into further interest of immunonutrition as well as forces well outside the realm of health that affect a community’s and individual’s immunity to disease.
