Mrs. Europe International®

Lesley Nardini

As Mrs. Europe Lesley is using her experience as a professional speaker and leader with Toastmasters International to speak and mentor people on how to improve their communication and leadership skills, helping them to face fear, improve self-confidence and find their voice to make a positive difference in the world.   She’s been involved with Toastmasters International for more than 10 years as a leader in both the US and Europe and has had the opportunity to mentor more than 1,000 adults and children. 

 

In addition to serving with Toastmasters, Lesley has successfully chaired several fund-raising events and served as a board member for the National Kidney Foundation.  This organization is near and dear to her heart because of the help they gave her brother when he struggled with kidney failure and dialysis for 8 years.  They also supported both of them through their kidney transplant process.  Lesley says, “I’m happy to say that 4 years after the transplant my brother is living a healthy productive life.”  She looks forward to resuming her involvement with the NKF when she moves back to the US.  In the meantime, she says if she is fortunate enough to receive the most internet votes for “Favorite Contestant” she will donate her cash prize to the National Kidney Foundation. 

 

Lesley is proud to say that she and her husband Carlo recently celebrated their 25th anniversary and they have 2 children who are the loves of their life; Lorenzo who is a film major at a university in the US and Cara who lives with them in Europe, becoming multi-lingual and honing her soccer skills.  Lesley says she feels incredibly blessed and fortunate to have been a full-time mother to her children for the past 19 years, while being able to work part-time developing her speaking and writing career.  She is also proud to have the opportunity to represent the married women of Europe—her 2nd home—in the Mrs. International® pageant.
