About this speaker
Laura has dedicated the past 20 years to guiding high school and college students towards success. Her journey began as a teacher in the Bronx, sparking her passion for empowering young adults. Transitioning to college admissions counseling, Laura aided students in accessing higher education. After earning a Master's in Counseling, she spent a decade as a college counselor, assisting students and families through the complexities of the college application process. Recognizing the need for ongoing support, Laura shifted focus to college students facing the inevitable challenges that come with college. Through personalized coaching, she addresses academic, professional, and social struggles, teaching and practicing essential time management and career planning skills. Her clients report improved grades, heightened optimism, increased self-confidence, and reduced stress. Additionally, Laura extends her expertise to high school audiences, bringing many of the same skills and concepts that she uses with her college clients to help younger students prepare for success in college. Through engaging presentations, she conveys her belief in students' potential for long term success, long after college admissions. When she is not working with students, she manages the fun of five kids, with love, laughter, and lots of driving and dishes!
