After graduating from Columbia College Chicago, Laura gained experience in various roles, including Transportation Coordinator for Ramah Day Camp, Director of Membership and Programming at Anshe Emet Synagogue, and Entertainment Project Management at Leo Burnett/Starcom Worldwide. Laura and her husband, Charlie, Head of School at a local synagogue, reside in Buffalo Grove with their three children.
