While at UMBC, Leslie oversaw $130,000 in budget and staffing resources; operated numerous sports camps; did extensive fundraising for the soccer program; had her student-athletes regularly involved in community service projects; and served on several college-wide initiatives designed to promote student welfare. Earlier in her collegiate career, she also served as the Head Women’s Soccer Coach at Towson University (1999-2006) where her 2000 team would also set a school record for wins (10 ) in a single season.
