Laura does an amazing job of providing exactly what we need when we need it done. She is a creative person with a blue collar work ethic. The drive that she has comes from a passion for her work and a desire to overdeliver on every task she is given. Her talents range from acting to animation to film production to project coordination. She has never done anything but

I am pleased to provide a reference for Laura. She is very detailed oriented, she is a very creative young lady.I would like to say that it is pleasant to work with, she is reliable and an intelligent person with good sense of humor. She has a passion to help people. She grasps new concepts quickly and accepts constructive criticism and instruction concerning her work. Self motivated and willing to go beyond what is required I enthusiastically recommend Laura as a promising candidate.
