About Laura

I have a BS in Therapeutic Recreation and specialized in gerontology. I worked several years as a Recreational Therapist in an adult day care and a retirement village. I have a passion for working with the elderly population and enjoy their company. Now that my children are all in college I am ready to start working again.
