Coach Laura
Success Coach
Languages: English
Laura is here to help young people figure out who they are, recognize what they’re capable of, and feel more confident about where they’re headed. She works primarily with high school and college students, helping them build self-awareness, find clarity, and take meaningful steps toward the future they want - even when they aren’t quite sure what that future looks like yet.
Laura believes great coaching starts with a relationship built on trust. She brings warmth, humor, empathy, and plenty of positive energy to her sessions, creating a space where young people can be themselves, talk things out, and explore ideas without fear of judgment. She’s also not afraid to offer a little challenge when it’s needed. Her goal is for clients to leave coaching not just feeling supported, but feeling a little more confident in themselves and what they can do.
Before becoming a coach, Laura spent 12 years as a middle school educator, where she served as a teacher leader and mentored students from a wide range of backgrounds, including students who faced barriers to opportunity. She later moved into nonprofit work supporting high school students and career readiness, connecting young people with business leaders, organizing career-focused field trips and experiences, and helping students see possibilities for their futures beyond the classroom.
Her own experience is a big part of why this work matters to her. As a high school student and young adult, Laura sometimes felt lost and struggled to figure out who she was and what direction she wanted her life to take. She knows how valuable it can be to have a trusted person in your corner while you're figuring things out - and she wants to be that person for the young people she coaches.Laura earned her bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology from Florida State University and is an Associate Certified Coach through Coach Training EDU.
She has always been fascinated by people, what motivates us, and what helps us grow. When she’s not coaching, you’ll probably find Laura outside - walking, paddle boarding, heading to the beach, staying active, or spending time with family, friends, and her dog. At the end of the day, what drives her is pretty simple: she loves helping people learn, grow, and discover what they’re capable of.
