Interview with Laura
Tell us about yourself
I’m a wife to an awesome husband. We’ve been together for 37 years. I’m a mother to our lovely daughter, Elizabeth, who has blessed us with Harper and Crosby. My family is everything to me.
Why did you become a Receptionist?
I love to help others when I can. Working with children has always been a passion of mine. Team 4 Kids seemed like the perfect match!
Why do you think your coworkers nominated you for being Empathetic?
I think it’s because I can show and have the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. Life has taught me many lessons.
What do you love most about working with TEAM 4 Kids?
The kids! They make my day when they come up and share tales or ask for a Hug, High 5 or Fist Bump.
If you had one wish, what would it be?
I wish more people would be aware of their surroundings and have more empathy.
