What I'm looking for
Hi, I am Laura — a multidisciplinary professional blending arts, cultural studies, NGO and SaaS experience with strengths in research, communication, sales, community and education. I pair humanities training with holistic wellbeing certifications to bring a human-centered approach to projects.
I have led communications, campaigning, onboarding and customer-success initiatives, managed key accounts, optimized onboarding processes, and executed engagement and churn-prevention campaigns. In the NGO sector I developed educational campaigns, produced multimedia content, managed events, and coordinated volunteers and influencer outreach.
I am a certified Yoga Teacher and Ayurvedic Health Consultant with additional trainings in voice work and holistic modalities, driven to create positive change through visionary projects that build just, peaceful and beautiful communities.
