Bio
Andrea Erion
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Laura over the last 8 years through Sigma Kappa Sorority South Florida Alumnae group. We have worked together planning events and organizing meetings. The most recent event was for our local founder’s day luncheon, which because of her dedication was a huge success. Laura knows how to keep a group on task and is great at putting ideas into motion. She is quiet the motivational speaker and I think can inspire anyone to make a move in the right direction. Laura has a great personality and the drive to accomplish anything.
