About Laura

My experience as a Director of Human Resources provides me with a perspective on what employers are looking for in candidates. I enjoy helping others prepare their resumes and cover letters, and assisting with career decisions. I previously practiced law so I also have insight into making career changes. I am a supporter of Veterans groups as both my husband and brother are veterans. I look at being an Advisor as an opportunity to say "thank you" to veterans for the sacrifices they made for us.
