An innovative and challenge-tackling marketer, creative mastermind, captivating writer, talented photographer and fierce beach volleyball competitor - that's Leslie Whittaker.

Since graduating from the University of North Carolina with degrees in English and Communication Studies, Whittaker has proven herself as a forward-thinking, results-oriented marketing and communications specialist. With a knack for overcoming diverse hurdles and pioneering innovative marketing initiatives, Whittaker has risen from a Marketing Assistant with GAI Consultants to Vice President of Marketing at ReferredU.com. Whittaker blends her communications and athletic background to provide leadership and strategic direction to the development, coordination and tactical implementation of value added business development and marketing initiatives. Whittaker believes in building brand awareness and loyalty through authentic conversations and client relationships.

Whittaker also boosts talents as a published writer, freelance graphic designer, photographer and communications consultant. To unwind, she takes advantage of Florida's warm, sunny weather by playing competitive beach volleyball or relaxes with a book. In addition, Whittaker also devotes her time to HoundHaven, a local dog rescue organization.
