PE, LEED AP, PMP, CPMP

Curiosity led Laura to Electrical Engineering, where she enjoys finding answers to complex problems. “There’s never just one right answer, even when you follow the standards, one solution doesn’t mean it applies to the next design.” Nothing illustrates this more than her work. She has helped design and layout a children’s hospital bed tower to a 72room psychiatric hospital to 1 million SF campuses. This diversity drives Laura to do her due diligence and create responsive designs which have been recognized and appreciated by her clients for her problemsolving and efficiency.
