Team Work Gets It Done
Laura has over 10 years experience in higher ed and has taught at the University of Virginia and the College of William and Mary. She’s also traveled extensively—hiking her way through Morocco, Guatemala, Spain and Turkey, among others. At Grand Classroom she loves leading hiking and rafting trips in Shenandoah National Park and working with teachers as an account manager to help them plan the trip of a lifetime. When she’s not on the job, Laura can be found on the river, white-water kayaking with her husband Ethan. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
