Everett Leslie

My name is Everett Leslie and I graduated from the University of New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana with a major in Geology. I began my career at Regenesis Bioremediation in Mishawaka, Indiana and moved back to New Orleans to continue my career as a Laboratory Operations Manager with Gulf Shore Construction Services in New Orleans, Louisiana. I am currently a Geoscientist-In-Training and am actively applying for my professional geologist license.
