Michael Kennedy-Scanlon

Laura's relentless desire to think outside the box and explore the larger world was apparent even when she was an undergraduate. She always took what she was learning to the next step, without the slightest need for prompting. She has an ample degree of intrinsic motivation, a high standard for the quality of her own work, a keen intelligence, and considerable charm to match. She will definitely be an asset to any team. Definitely a profile to watch!
