I’ve been fortunate to work with some great mentors and colleagues throughout my career. Some of them have been kind enough to say nice things below.

“Laura and I worked together on a number of proposal projects and other content creation and organization activities. She is very detail oriented and has strong skills in document layout, content capture, organization and wordsmithing. She excels in managing tasks required to create high quality deliverables and was a pleasure to work with. Any company would be fortunate to have her.”

- Kevin Pohl - Director, PMO/BPM, Valid USA

“I had the pleasure of working with Laura for three years as she supported our consulting practice from a creative design and marketing perspective. She had great ideas in generating new creative concepts for our website presence, social media activities, email campaigns, and print marketing collateral. She also did exceptional work in building out those new websites, and other related marketing elements.”

“Laura is very creative with a strong attention to detail and task oriented. You could always count on her to hit deadlines and make certain our sales team was prepared for their trade shows and social client events. Laura was a valuable member of our extended team sales and marketing efforts. It was a joy working with her each day.”

- Chris Konow –COO, CleanSlate Technology Group

“I met Laura while working as the VP of Marketing at SupportNet.  When I became CEO of my own tech company, I needed an experienced, self-starter to help lead our marketing initiatives and continue to grow our client base.  I hired Laura with no reservations. Laura was directly responsible for our entire company marketing portfolio, including our websites, lead-generation programs, webinars, social media, event planning, print collateral and more. Her contributions significantly affected our revenue growth from $5 million annually in 2008 to over $65 million in 2015.”   

- Steve Churchill – CEO, Preferred Partner/ CleanSlate Technology Group

“Laura did a tremendous job as the marketing manager for our company. I was most impressed by her overhaul of our entire company website. She took the initiative to replace our extremely outdated site and replace it with something completely fresh and modern. She did this work completely by herself using modern tools in which she had no prior experience, and I think the results speak for themselves. Laura has that creative ‘it’ factor that is essential for marketing personnel and also pays a great attention to detail.”

”On the personal side, Laura deeply cared about her relationships with people and spent a lot of her time investing in the lives of others. I count her among my friends and it is a privilege to know her!”

- Artie Sluka – Head Developer, CleanSlate Technology Group

“I worked with Laura for three years when I supported PreferredPartner/CleanSlate in their IBM software sales. She was exceptionally organized and extremely effective in everything she did. If Laura was running an event or campaign, it exceeded expectations. On top of it all she’s funny and great to work with. Laura is the complete package!

- Eric Petersen - IBM Hybrid Cloud Sales, IBM

”I worked side by side with Laura as a publicist in the past on projects, and the first time I was afforded the opportunity to subcontract her myself I did. From years and years of working closely with media, she is highly inventive in creating pitches that grab their attention. Additionally, she is professional to a fault — poised, reliable and never misses a deadline. In addition to PR, she knows how marketing, promotions and advertising complement an overall communications strategy for a brand.” 

Vicki Wilson Bohlsen - CEO/PR, Marketing and Event Services Company, Bohlsen Group

“Laura is a media pro and a great professional partner. She was highly recommended to us as a freelance publicist and easily integrated onto our team managing media outreach on several large projects. Her relationships with local and national media was instrumental in our clients’ success and she was always able to deliver results. No matter what the project or subject, Laura was ready to roll up her sleeves, jump right in and consistently brought fresh ideas and enthusiasm to each program. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, creative and always thinking of ways to exceed expectations, Laura is a great go-to resource.”

Jay Elliot - PR Communications Marketing Consultant, WErPR

“Laura was employed by the Gibson Group for over three years. During that time I found her work to be top notch. She is not only a talented copywriter but she was also a very valuable part of the creative team. Laura’s duties included writing copy for all print work, plus writing and producing broadcast. She was expected to deal with vendors as well as clients, and did both professionally. On several occasions Laura was required to travel on behalf of the company and proved to be very capable in that area, too. I also found Laura’s attitude and loyalty especially helpful during the stressful times we all encounter in the advertising business. In short, I think Laura’s abilities and personality would enhance any team.”
