A little bit about me

I am 24 years old, originally from New Orleans, LA and new to Chicago. I graduated from Tulane University in 2023 with degrees in Psychology and Dance and have since worked as a professional dancer, choreographer, and dance educator. I have multiple years of experience teaching, and love getting to introduce young minds to the joy of movement. Additionally, I have worked in childcare as a babysitter, nanny, and aftercare worker at a Montessori School. I am passionate about engaging in imaginative play with children, and love finding new ways to get creative. When I am not working or in the studio I am likely reading, taking a long stroll outside, or searching for a new craft to jump into.

Hi! My name is Leslie, you can call me Roxanne/Roxy as well both are my name! , and I love working with children.
