Laura has excellent planning and organization skills, a fearless commitment to creative results and innovative ideas. Gosh, does she love a good whiteboard! With a passion for research and writing and a positive outlook, she’s provided strategic leadership on brands from Duquesne Light Company to Smucker’s Natural Food and from the Pittsburgh Film Office to Nestlé USA. She brings an expansive perspective to Chemistry with her international experience, having worked at Edelman on brand experiences for Pedigree, the European Commission, and PepsiCo’s 7up while living in Dublin, Ireland. She’s a LUMA Institute certified facilitator of Human-Centered Design to ensure that all briefs are understood and analyzed from a people-first perspective. When she’s not working, you’ll most likely encounter her trail running with her two pups, exploring the benefits of mindfulness, or chowing down on a huge burger at her local pub.
