Hi! My name is Leslie Vandenabeele! Don't worry, you can just call me Mrs. V! This marks my 13th year teaching . I began my teaching career at Midland Valley High School in 2012 and taught Intro, Essentials, Sports Medicine and Allied Health for 8 years Evans High. before becoming a proud Lakeside Panther! Before I started teaching I worked in the field of Sports Medicine as a certified athletic trainer. I had the privilege of working in many different settings such as hospitals, colleges, outpatient clinics, professional sports and pediatrics. I actually worked as the Athletic Trainer for Lakeside in the early 2000s! I also am a certified clinical medical assistant! Many people ask me why I would leave a profession I loved and my answer is simple. You see, I got into health care because I wanted to improve the quality of life for people. Hopefully I can improve my students quality of life by helping them find their passion. If I can help students find their passion in health care, I can impact many more lives through them than I ever could have by myself! Teaching is my PASSION and nothing brings me greater joy than helping students find theirs!
