Multi-Talent. One Desire.

As a speaker she has addressed audiences in Indonesia, Malaysia, United States, Bahamas, United Kingdom, Mexico and South Africa.
As a photographic expedition leader, and through her thousands of hours spent underwater in often very challenging conditions, witnessing some of the most spectacular events in Nature, she has come to know that everything we want to learn, we can learn from Nature. She has one burning desire: to help conserve our natural environment.
Brave. Respected.
Lesley goes to extremes: She trains mentally and physically in preparation for what others would never dare to do. She puts herself in unimaginable situations amongst the oceans top predators, sharks, to prove her point.
She’s brave: Armed only with her camera she captures some of the most disturbing footage to raise awareness about critical marine issues.

She’s respected: Trevor Manuel invited Lesley to contribute toward the Global Ocean Commission process.
Her award winning work as an extreme conservationist, combined with her diverse careers that span across the arts, the corporate market, and now the challenging nonprofit sector, allows her a unique understanding of what it takes to succeed against all odds.
