My name is Leslie and I&#8217;m currently based out of Tampa, Florida. I&#8217;m working on my MSI at FSU while also working full-time at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usf.edu\/\">USF<\/a>. I&#8217;m also, apparently, a fan of acronyms. I&#8217;ve lived in Florida for the majority of my life, and one of the things I just can&#8217;t get over is how great the weather is here year round (excluding the few weeks in July and August where the state cosplays as the surface of the sun). When i&#8217;m not working or studying, I try to get outside as much as possible. I enjoy kayaking, reading in the shade, or taking my dog Zoe on long walks. I enjoy reading sci-fi and fantasy books, and have a personal reading goal of 75 books this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7450-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6879\" style=\"width:626px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7450-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7450-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7450-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7450.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/57C3F7F2-C2FD-4F11-9673-A5564D0E9D77-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6878\" style=\"width:585px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/57C3F7F2-C2FD-4F11-9673-A5564D0E9D77-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/57C3F7F2-C2FD-4F11-9673-A5564D0E9D77-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/57C3F7F2-C2FD-4F11-9673-A5564D0E9D77-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/57C3F7F2-C2FD-4F11-9673-A5564D0E9D77-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/57C3F7F2-C2FD-4F11-9673-A5564D0E9D77-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/57C3F7F2-C2FD-4F11-9673-A5564D0E9D77-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/57C3F7F2-C2FD-4F11-9673-A5564D0E9D77-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"> I adopted Zoe in 2020 from <a href=\"https:\/\/adorepetrescue.org\/\">ADORE Pet Rescue<\/a> , and it was easily the best decision of my life. She is such a spunky, happy, loving little lady, and has brought so much joy into my life. She very much lives up to her namesake, Zoe Washburn (one of my favorite sci-fi heroines).  I&#8217;m unsure of what her breed is (I suspect she&#8217;s some sort of bully mix though) but I usually tell people she&#8217;s a 100% pure-bred good girl. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I have absolutely no background in media production whatsoever, but I am curious to learn more.
