Hi there! I’m Laura.
I believe in approaching non-profit work with a tech-savvy, “work smarter, not harder” approach. As a former non-profit Intern, Volunteer Coordinator, Communications Director, and Operations Manager… I get it. There is no “extra funding.” There is no “IT department." There is a small team of passionate people united by an important cause. I’m here to be your partner in progress.
Anna Gabriella Casalme, Founder of Novelly
“Laura singlehandedly transformed the operations of the non-profit I founded, a game changer for a small, scrappy and 100% remote organization like ours. She is dedicated to building customized systems that feel intuitive, not overwhelming, and that truly work for everyone involved.”
