Leslie graduated from the University of New Mexico with a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology and a double major in Political Science. Leslie then graduated from the University of New Mexico School of Law in 2022. In law school, Leslie received Clinical Honors and an award for Excellence in International Law and Comparative Law. As an immigrant herself, she is immensely thankful for the opportunity to serve the immigrant population in New Mexico.
