Not only is Laura whip smart and an effective and influential team member, she also makes working with her a blast. In the two years I worked with Laura, she played an integral part in successful product and campaign launches, securing key media placements and managing both small and large scale events. I'm always amazed at how quickly and efficiently she gets the job done, making her success look so easy. She's a great team player who constantly brings creative ideas and fresh thinking to the table, and has a passion to always do what's right.
