2001 MVCTC Graphic
Commercial Arts Alumni Publishes Book
Englewood, Ohio - Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) 2001
Graphic Commercial Arts graduate, Leslie Klenke, is a published author
with her first book “Paleo Girl”. Leslie, originally from
Vandalia-Butler High School, turned her passion for a healthy lifestyle
into a career and authored her book with the goal of helping teen girls
have a better self-image and lead a healthy lifestyle.
Leslie graduated from the MVCTC Graphic Commercial Art program in 2001
and went on to earn her Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Communication
Technologies with a minor in Entrepreneurship from Bowling Green State
University. Soon after graduation, Leslie was offered a job in
Los Angeles with Goodie Two Sleeves, as a designer. She worked
her way up to Art Director for Goodie Two Sleeves.
Leslie has always had a passion for health and fitness, while in Los
Angeles she was introduced to the Primal Lifestyle/Paleo Diet. The
Primal Lifestyle emphasizes living more like our ancestors did, eat
more protein and be active.
As shared on Leslie’s web page, “After living a Primal lifestyle for
three years, Leslie met Mark Sisson (the founder of the Primal movement
and author of The Primal Blueprint) at PrimalCon Oxnard in April of
2013. She kept in touch with Mark and enthusiastically pitched her idea
for Paleo Girl a month later. It was then that she finally found a way
to merge her passions of art and health: proudly writing, designing and
shooting much of the photography for Paleo Girl.”
Leslie attribute her Graphic Art education at MVCTC with setting her on
the right path for her current success. She has been able to make
a career of her passions and has written a very inspiring book for teen
girls.
