Laura grew up in Seattle but first moved to DC in 2008 to work for her home state Senator (Sen. Cantwell).  That’s when she found out exactly how bananas the DC political scene is…

After 3 years in DC, Laura moved back to Seattle.  From there she started working for Obama for America, and most recently she worked on the Presidential Inaugural Committee in DC.  Currently Laura is working on breaking into a new career field of strategic communications/PR; a move that is turning her world upside down.

…you know…being inverted…inverted-oBefore Laura gave me an excuse to search the web for every Top Gun reference I can force into this blog post, she was a lightweight rower, a track sprinter, and an avid tennis player.  She’s also dabbled in rock climbing, ice skating, volleyball, running, yoga, and bocce ball!  Wow.  Well, we’re happy to add CrossFit to that list!

Laura, thanks for becoming a Founding Father!  If you can do that on a zip line, I can’t wait to see what you can do on a pull up bar!
