Bio
Martin Duncan
Laura was a great help to the Talent Acquisition team during her summer internship at Odyssey. Laura created a wonderful company profile page on StackOverflow with limited direction, showing her to be mature beyond her years. I see an amazing professional future ahead for Laura and wish her the best of luck!

I had the pleasure of working with Laura Allaben this summer as my intern for the entire product team at Odyssey. Laura answered directly to me and assisted me with all of my project and product management tasks. Laura was in our office from June 2016 - August 2016. Laura was such a joy to have around the office. She took any task I gave her and made the best out of it. I was amazed by how well a Senior in High School could comprehend and adapt to the hectic culture of a tech start-up. Laura rebuilt our entire StackOverflow page for the company almost single handedly, helped make the communication between the product team and other internal teams smoother, and assisted me with developing a brand new organizational structure for a team of 18 people. I would recommend Laura for any position that she sees fit because I know how well she can adapt to a new situation and how strong her work ethic is. Having Laura work in house this summer did not feel like we had a 17 year old working with us, it felt like we had a college graduate who was working with us full time. We will definitely miss her and all of the amazing components she contributed to our team.
