“She's an excellent professor because she stays at the forefront of her industry. She leads by example: education doesn't stop - she's always reinventing the message. She challenges students to think outside the box, to harness emerging technologies and finds ways to put learned knowledge into action. Her office door doesn't close. "

"If I had to summarise her style in one word, it would be "passionate". Some professors feel that students are privileged to learn. Leesa sees it as more of a mutual benefit: she's privileged to teach and share her extensive knowledge and she's very appreciative of students willing to learn and push themselves to new levels.

You can't ask for more. She's one of those professors that students will always want to, and do well to keep in touch with."
