We're called I Want Her Job for a reason, and it's because we firmly believe that you should love your job fiercely — so much that you really want to get out of bed in the morning so you can dive right in. Lesly Cardec, public relations manager at SFN Group, is one of those ladies. But ask Lesly if she thought she was going to be in public relations, and the answer she would have given you a while back was "no" as her heart was set on being a reporter. But after a stint at a local news station, she decided it just wasn't a fit. Though one thing was certain — she loved people and writing — which is how she discovered her recent career.
When Lesly isn't working hard to secure coverage she enjoys being a mom, which she says is the toughest but most rewarding job in the world. Her son, Jett Mattingly, is six months old. She also enjoys writing about being a new mom for her blog, and the stories people tell. She will tell you she's a sucker for biographies, because whether through struggle, pure talent or great writing, she believes everyone has a story to tell.
