Laura's love for small business began at 15 when she started working for a family-owned restaurant & caterer. She saw the impact that people make on a business and actively grew with the company for the next 10 years.

She attended Illinois State University to hone her passion for marketing and business. Her post-graduate career began at the Chicago Tribune where she worked on dozens of successful advertising campaigns for many different industries.

Laura's attention to detail and need to constantly improve drives her clients’ businesses forward. In her spare time, she enjoys exploring the city with her dog, Ellie, grabbing dinner with friends and loves watching TED Talks or the Tastemade Channel.

Other fun fact: Laura set a goal to travel more, and in the past year she visited five states, and three countries!
