Before joining the team at Mesothelioma Hope, Laura spent several years in educational publishing as a writer and lead editor at Pearson Education and Full Sail University. Witnessing her friends and family members battle various forms of cancer inspired Laura to make a career shift to medical writing.
“Chances are you or someone you know has been affected by cancer. I really wanted my work to impact people’s lives on a broader scale.”
Laura brings a sharp attention to detail and a sense of journalistic integrity to her role as Lead Editor at Mesothelioma Hope.
She collaborates with a dedicated team of writers, web designers, medical experts, and patient advocates to bring the latest information on mesothelioma research and treatment to those affected by this rare cancer.
Laura firmly believes in the power of content and storytelling to help build community and connect people with life-changing resources.
“Finding that source of hope and comfort at the right time can mean everything to someone facing a cancer diagnosis. My number one goal is to make Mesothelioma Hope the most trusted resource for patients and their families.”
Laura lives in Orlando, Florida with her husband and rescue dog. When she isn’t leading content strategy for Mesothelioma Hope, she enjoys traveling, cooking, and spending time with family.
