After 20+ years in the corporate world, I made a decision to start working in an industry that I’m passionate about. This has led me to supporting Becca and the rest of BFA. Not only am I a romance junkie, I am an aspiring author working on my first novel. My top 5 strengths are: Empathy, Achiever, Developer, Input, and Includer. Please let me know if there is ever anything I can do to help you!

Leslie Gail, BFA Classroom Administrator
As a long-time student and volunteer at the Better Faster Academy, Leslie can’t think of any place she’d rather work than here, except for maybe Disney World! Having experienced firsthand the life-changing gift of getting to know oneself better as a writer and a person, she is thrilled to be a member of the admin team as the Classroom Assistant and looks forward to doing whatever she can to help others on their own journey.
When she’s not at Disney, or in the classroom, you can probably find Leslie playing board games with her family, writing about witchy women, shuffling her tarot cards, or planning her next trip, which may or may not be to Disney World. (shh…it’s totally Disney World.)
