Mrs. Jenine Leskiw hails from Niagara Falls, New York where she discovered her love for teaching early in life. She has held teaching licenses in four states and has enjoyed working with students across a wide range of ages. Jenine has developed her educational skills in many settings, including the elementary and middle school classrooms, the tap dance studio, with church ministries serving college students, youth, and children, and on the campus of the University of the Cumberlands.
Jenine began her journey at the University of the Cumberlands in 2012 as an adjunct professor in the Health Exercise and Sports Science Department where her background in education and dance made her a unique fit. A decade later, she transitioned into the role of University Supervisor in the MAT program. Working one-on-one with developing educators to help them reach their full potential reignited her desire to return to the classroom. That renewed passion brought her to the School of Education, where she now plays a role in preparing undergraduate teacher candidates as they begin their own teaching journeys.
