Practitioner Spotlight: See Moua-Leske — Leading with Heart, Vision, and Community

See Moua-Leske is a true example of what it means to lead with purpose. As the Adult Basic Education Manager at SW ABE – Marshall and facilitator of the State of Minnesota’s Racial Equity Grant, she has brought people together to have honest conversations and take meaningful action toward racial equity and educational access. Her work has not only strengthened her community but has also gained recognition at state and national conferences.

One of See’s standout accomplishments is helping transform the “Cultures on the Prairie” conference into “It Begins With Us.” This change expanded the event’s reach, encouraging more voices, stories, and connections across cultures. Beyond her professional role, See gives her time and energy to numerous boards and committees, including the Marshall City Council, Southwest Minnesota Workforce Development Board, and Southwest Regional Development Commission. Her service reflects a lifelong commitment to creating opportunities for others.

See’s leadership is both innovative and hands-on. She has expanded access to learning through creative grant initiatives—like a recent pilot program offering classes at a local church—and by advocating for hybrid and online learning options. Known for her positivity and collaborative spirit, she uplifts her team and builds partnerships with local organizations to meet real community needs.

Through her work, See Moua-Leske continues to inspire others to lead with compassion, inclusion, and courage.
