Meet Leslie
Prior to opening Skin Memory, I was a librarian and information manager. My work background includes ADP, Hogan Lovells, Harvard University, Nixon Peabody, and the National Institutes of Health. Working with top tier professionals instilled in me a high degree of standards and ethics. After two decades in IT, I made a life change and began to pursue a career that is a personal passion - skin care.
That passion begins with my grandmother. My grandma came to the US from France in the 1960s. While growing up, money was tight but, my grandma loved to make skincare concoctions in our kitchen. This was a way for my grandma to treat herself, to care for herself, to feel better about herself, and to connect with herself after a long day of giving to everyone else.
