While working together, I found Laurie to be an energetic, insightful, and accountable learning and development professional; my go-to person to bounce ideas off of. She brought a real passion for the L&D space, focusing on connecting the most effective approach to achieve the desired outcomes (and baking in the measurement to demonstrate results). With both proven business experience and advanced formal education, Laurie was able to bridge the gap between the academically sound and business practical.
