Mrs. Lecesse is Next Generation Martial Art's administrative assistant - but she likes to help NGESC too.
Mrs. Lecesse has many years of experience with administration, marketing, and design under her belt (which is a black belt).
She grew up in Ashland and is a Board Member at the Ashland Historical Society. She received her Bachelors Degree from Merrimack College in Art History and English (Medieval Studies).
A few years after college, Mrs. Lecesse married and move to Germany followed by a move across the Channel to England.
She was able to use her extremely focused degree during her 7 years in England; where she studied to be a City of Ely & Ely Cathedral guide. She volunteered as an archivist and picked up way too many craft hobbies. So she tells a good story, is extremely organized, and likes to make things fancy.
After her time in England, Mrs. Lecesse and her family moved back to Massachusetts. This is when she and her two children joined NGMA. They have been a part of the NGMA family ever since.
