Leslie Kempthorne, BS has been with the UW TBI Model System since 2000. She is a research manager and is responsible for supervising TBIMS research activities as well as those of other studies carried out by the TBIMS research team. The years Leslie has spent with TBIMS are a reflection of her dedication to the vision and goals of the study.

When she’s not working, Leslie takes advantage of the natural and cultural offerings of the area – spending time with her family, hiking with her beloved dog Luna, or attending a show at one of the many event venues in Seattle. She also loves to travel and, like a true Seattleite, she likes her coffee strong.
