Facilitator : Leslie-Ann  Beckles

Leslie-Ann Beckles is very passionate about the creative sector. She has been part of the performing arts since she was eight (8) years old as a singer, actress, in film, on stage and even backstage which gives her a holistic view of the sector.

Upon completion of her Marketing studies at COSTAATT and the Chartered Institute of Marketing, she decided to combine both areas in order to develop a sustainable industry.

She has worked with clients such as Trinidad
Theatre Workshop, Encore Productions, Sanctuary Productions and Sovereign City Entertainment to name a few.

She is an advocate for the sector and continuously promotes it to non-creatives through educating them about the value of it.
