Leslie Sydnor is an architect now working as a Director / Planning Project Manager at Cumming Corporation. Leslie grew up in New York City wanting to effect change in the built environment, and so she went on to study architecture at Yale and then UCLA. After about 20 years in architecture, having risen to the level of Associate Principal, Leslie left her traditional career in architecture to work on the other side of things in project, program, planning, and construction management. Throughout her career, she gained expertise in education projects, and we hear stories about her work, her experiences rising up in a firm and then leaving it, and why being an architect now helps her excel at her current job. As women of color, we also discuss issues of race and gender, and talk pretty candidly about our experiences as architects. Links to upcoming events: Now What?! Advocacy, Activism and Alliances in American Architecture since 1968 Opening Party Sept. 8 at WUHO Gallery Powerful Conference 2018 Sept. 20 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion
