Prior to beginning her career as a legal recruiter, Lesley was a litigation associate in the Chicago office of Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker LLP. While working on multi-million-dollar litigation cases, Lesley appreciated all aspects of the legal profession; however, she was not always able to see the fruits of her work. Wanting to capitalize on her skills and abilities while also helping others achieve their goals, Lesley transitioned to the executive recruiting industry in 2011, joining McCormack Schreiber Legal Search as a Managing Director.​

Lesley earned her B.A. in Psychology with distinction from the University of Michigan in 2003 and earned her J.D. from the University of Iowa in 2007; she is a fourth-generation attorney. A voracious reader and avid traveler, Lesley also volunteers for various Chicago fundraisers and charitable events and cheers for her alma mater, the Michigan Wolverines.​
