Laurie’s initial draw to education was to foster a love of learning and discovering one’s self during the adolescent years. Laurie became passionate about helping others and being a voice for children and adolescents to keep them enrolled in school and to embrace moving forward with their lives as they went up in grades and out to boarding schools helping them explore challenging environments to continue to grow and learn about themselves as they matured and enjoy school, and make the most of their opportunities while among different cultures.

Finding your voiceIt was while living among many different cultures and through her experience teaching children and adolescents that she began to discover how so many children and adults needed a little support in finding their voice and became very interested in always advocating for all to have rights to education and for others to work on meeting others where they are at and supporting them as they grow and learn and find their voice and learn how to express themselves.
