She attended El Camino College part time for a few years. She majored in fine art with a minor in art history, including ancient art history studies.

Leslie is a lifelong science fiction fan, and is very well read in this genre. Throughout her life, she has had a keen interest in ufology and has spent many years of reading and research in this field.

She has written news articles, poetry and has now completed her first book, “Who They Are, and What They’re Up To,” in which she expounds on her theories about UFOs and the beings who are flying them.
