Originally from the central valley of California, Laura graduated from California State University Fresno with a double major in Philosophy and Criminology. After college, she traveled to Europe in hopes of playing soccer. She was fortunate as a walk-on to land on a women’s soccer team in Germany, serving as the only American in the league. While in Germany, she also worked for Bank of America’s Overseas Division. After returning to the U.S., Laura shifted her focus and volunteered in the medical sector in upstate New York. During a weekend visit to Charleston in 2012, Laura fell in love with the Lowcountry and in 2013 relocated to the area.
Laura joined Morris Financial Concepts in 2016 as operations manager and has served as a lead financial planner after obtaining her CFP® certification in 2020. She is a member of the Financial Planning Association® (FPA®) and is a graduate of FPA’s Residency Program. In addition, Laura has always enjoyed helping others and is an active volunteer in the community. She is passionate about financial literacy and helping educate individuals from all backgrounds. A self-proclaimed foodie, sneaker enthusiast, and dog mom to the original MFC office pup, Espy, Laura also loves sports, fitness, and taking trips to places off the beaten path. She says she feels like the luckiest person in the world and is so thankful for everything this life has awarded her.
