Our People

Leslie is a Leone, McDonnell & Roberts Administrative Assistant. Before joining our team, Leslie built her career primarily through serving in the non-profit sector, including EastersealsNH and Rockingham Community Action.  She has also supported a small, family-owned CPA firm as well.

When not helping our office run smoothly, Leslie enjoys volunteering in her local community. She also loves spending her free time with her family, hiking, and visiting the Lakes Region.

Amanda started at the firm in 2022. In her role as Administrative Assistant/Receptionist, she gets to do what she does best—work with others and contribute to the team in multiple capacities. She also enjoys her receptionist duties, where she gets to be the first person visitors get to see at our Dover office.

A lifelong NH resident, Amanda currently lives in Dover with her beloved cats and dog. She also loves singing, songwriting, and playing musical instruments. In her spare time, she volunteers with Arts In Reach, practices and instructs students of all ages in Okinawan Karate training, and donates her time to help raise mental health awareness for individuals with low socioeconomic status.
