Home: Roanoke Age: 37 Sign: Gemini Occupation: Development plan reviewer for the city of Roanoke School: She plans to earn a horticulture degree from Virginia Western this fall. She also has a bachelor's in civil engineering technology from Old Dominion University. Nominated by: Leslie and the women in her office thought being featured would be a fun thing to do - something that could either bring giggles or grief. About Leslie: Before enrolling in the six-week Roanoke Citizen Police Academy program, Leslie contemplated going back to school for her master's in criminal justice. She chose horticulture instead, but she's still planning to roll up her sleeves for the academy's advanced 12-week program. Centered, determined and spontaneous, Leslie believes in making the best of what life has to offer.
General interests: Budo Taijutsu (a combat karate style similar to the traditional Samurai form) and Renaissance fairs (she dons a period corset dress and her 5-year-old son, Malin, is her knight in shining armor). She also enjoys reading (especially forensic, horror and fantasy books) and spending time with her pooches, Bacardi (a Great Pyrenees) and CiCi (a German/Afghan hound mix). Where you're most likely to find her: In the summer, landscaping in her rose garden or at the park with Malin. Otherwise, she's browsing the shelves at Barnes & Noble or practicing Budo Taijutsu at Roanoke Bujinkan. Leslie's routine when she goes out: She and Malin eat out on a consistent basis, usually two or three dinners a week. Leslie likes dining at places where they know her and know what she likes. How long she's been single: 4 years
Pro of single life: Leslie can read whenever she wants to. Con of single life: Not having someone to share the morning with. Leslie wakes up with a smile on her face - the a.m.'s her best time of day. Whom she'd like to meet: A gentleman with well-rounded interests who's adventurous and not afraid to change his plans at the last minute. How she rates Roanoke's single life on a scale of 1 to 5: 2 Why? Roanoke seems to consist primarily of people younger than 20 or older, retired couples. Single, educated thirty- and fortysomething people seem to vacate the area for better jobs. Best date: A nice dinner at Montano's or a hike at Peaks of Otter. Worst date: When someone takes you dancing and then refuses to dance. How to approach Leslie: A conversation about karate or a current event would get her attention. Want to talk to Leslie?
