Biography

Leslie Wright is an adjunct professor and course author with dual careers and degrees–a bachelors in Music Business from Berklee College of Music and a master of science in Digital Marketing from Southern New Hampshire University. She lives in a small town in the northwest corner of Arkansas, but her clients span four countries.

She started in the music business at age 6, working nightly in a music theater and touring in the winter months. She started her own business in digital marketing when she was 16 years old, and it’s still her main line of work today. Her daily tasks include developing/designing websites, graphic design, branding, marketing research, demographics and buyer persona development, content writing, content marketing, and social media management. She’s extremely passionate about marketing and music, and she enjoys applying shared principles to both careers!

She is an “outside the box” thinker and believes that learning happens when a person is engaged, interested, and applying principles. She seeks to build confidence and excitement in students, and is always willing to offer grace to students who need support in order to succeed. She’s optimistic, ambitious, and is continually on a quest for more knowledge every day.
