Lezanne "Lee" SLankamenac
Summary
Energetic and compassionate professional with a diverse background in customer service, training, and team leadership, now seeking to bring my people-first mindset into a new role. As a mother of three—including two children with ADHD and one with OCD—I’ve developed deep patience, adaptability, and a natural talent for supporting individual needs with empathy and encouragement. My career spans beauty therapy, business ownership, staff mentoring, data administration, and frontline service—all of which have sharpened my communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. Known for my positivity, creativity, and ability to connect with others, I thrive in team environments and bring a contagious enthusiasm to every challenge I take on.
