NNU MarCom

Leslie Gangwer is the Operations Manager at Northwest Nazarene University. She studied at NNU where she majored in Graphic Design with a minor in photography.

Before coming to NNU, she worked for a real estate company doing marketing and graphic design and at Dutch Bros making your favorite caffeinated drinks. She also spent the last 3 years on NNU’s undergraduate and graduate admissions teams.

Leslie is super excited to be moving into the marketing world! She grew up with two parents who work in marketing and PR, and with a degree in graphic design, she feels that this is a natural fit for her.

As the Operations Manager, she makes sure the team runs smoothly and completes projects as efficiently and effectively as possible. She also occasionally helps our designer, David, with design projects when needed.

“My favorite part about this role is being able to bridge the gap between our wonderful admissions teams and marketing; making sure we are representing NNU in the best ways we know how, so new students can experience how amazing this place is!”

In 2022, she welcomed her first child, Florence into the world. Leslie and her husband (and two dogs, Lewis and Walter) spend most of their free time going on walks to their favorite coffee shop, the Flying M or adventuring around Boise.
