Profile
Leslie joined M&A in 1989 after stints with Pima County Wastewater and the City of Tucson Water Department. Much of her work here has focused on managing large-scale, multi-disciplinary projects — including many that incorporate groundwater models — and providing technical support for legal negotiations and proceedings. Leslie has had opportunities to assist clients with integrating traditional and innovative remedial strategies at contaminated sites. At one Superfund site, she was part of a technical team that designed and implemented pilot studies using in-situ oxidation methods to remediate volatile organic compounds at several discrete source areas. She also specializes in coordinating the full spectrum of water resources and permitting services for clients in the power sector, including both traditional coal and gas-fired plants and utility-scale solar thermal facilities.
Leslie served as project manager for the Cholla Power Plant Wellfield Replacement / Expansion Project, which received this APS plant’s 2008 Contractor of the Year award. In addition to her project roles, Leslie also serves as M&A’s marketing coordinator.
