Leslie has worked as the lifestyle editor at Indianapolis Monthly magazine and as a columnist for The Indianapolis Star where she penned a popular column called “The Adventuress.”
She started Indy Maven because she saw a gap in the market when it came to storytelling and news for women…and because she really likes parties.
