When I worked with Laura she was a rising star! She had great energy, enthusiasm and motivation. She was clearly destined for success. As I follow her career I continue to be impressed with her industry knowledge, her writing skills and her insight. I follow her! Laura has both a great work ethic and strong skill set making her an asset to any team or company. I miss having her next door to brainstorm and strategize with. So glad we still keep in touch.
