The question I get asked about Laura is, "what can Laura do?" The answer I tell my friends, colleagues, work-mates, and family is, "what can't Laura do!" I've known Laura for a long time and everything she set's out to accomplish, she accomplishes. She has done so with an intellectual capacity that is astounding. Laura has a fantastic ability to problem solve. She is a wonderful communicator and teacher; she is a visionary and creative, she is a true leader.

For me, one of the most important qualities about Laura is that her heart is in the right place.
