Laura: trustworthy, reasonable, confident, and unshakeable. Laura is the real-deal when it comes to a marketing professional. Not only is she incredibly talented and experienced, she is also deeply analytical and thoughtful. She had a direct responsibility in campaign success, platform development, and website creation & management. Nothing can stop her when she sets her eyes on a goal. Laura is not only a great marketing professional, but she is a wonderful manager/supervisor/role model. She imparted so much knowledge during my time as her direct report, and anyone with the opportunity to work with her should be counted as lucky. She was strong in her beliefs and would always handle hurdles with confidence and carry that belief throughout the team. In all seriousness, Laura is a great employee, supervisor, teammate, and mentor. She will be a fantastic asset anywhere she goes!

If you are looking for a high caliber leader who can take your marketing strategy to the next level--and then execute on that strategy while inspiring her team to swing for the fences--well, look no further than Laura. Laura is a master of her craft, combining data analytics, market understanding and customer feedback with amazing fluidity. She listens and collaborates and then makes firm and right-minded decisions. Laura joined me as a co-founder of an EdTech start-up, and we quite simply could not have launched our platform and built out our user base without her deep smarts and tremendous work ethic. People often wear multiple hats in a start-up, but Laura's range of responsibilities would have kept even the best millinery busy! Beyond covering and driving every aspect of Marketing, Laura oversaw Product Development (requirements documents, tech team management, budget management, quality control, site/platform design). She also organized and set up infrastructure for numerous global events and webinars, delivering on our mission to bring access and equity to international students everywhere. Put simply, Laura is a creative force of nature. Put any job in front of her, and I can assure you it will be done more quickly and better than you will have imagined possible. She is a say-it-like-it-is exec who is beloved and trusted by all who have the pleasure of working with her.
