Lesa was a Communications Specialist in Digital Design at Northern Health. She's a seasoned professional with over two decades in the digital design industry. With a background in fine art studies that began over 30 years ago, she transitioned to digital design in 1998. Lesa often pursues opportunities within the community to participate or volunteer at events that showcase technology, and she is a strong supporter of events that encourage youth, especially young women, to pursue an education and career in the fields of science, design, and technology. In her spare time, Lesa is obsessed with gardening (she's a self-described plant hoarder)! If you're interested in gardening in the North, check out her Pinterest board! Lastly, when time permits, she can be found creating traditional or digital art in her home studio in Prince George.
