Bio
Melissa Rademacher
I had the pleasure of working with Laura for several years. I was constantly amazed by her creativity and imagination. She has a unique ability to take an idea and turn it into a tangible marketing product. She works easily between departments including working with non-marketing departments such as finance and development. Additionally, her patience and persistence resulted in outcomes far beyond expectations. I would highly recommend Laura.

Temporary Caretaker

Apr 2021 - Jun 2021
I recently made the difficult decision to resign from my position at Futura Marketing to be a full-time caretaker for a family member during their high-risk pregnancy until July of 2021. I felt strongly about being available to aid them during this time, as family is very important to me. I am excited to continue my career in a new role very soon! Tasks: transportation to/from appointments, childcare, housework, aiding during any emergencies. During this time, I am also working on professional development courses, seeking out volunteer design work opportunities, and updating my portfolio with new conceptual projects I have always wanted to work on. Stay tuned! Show less
