After graduation, Laura was the Horticulture and Pathology Specialist at the American Chestnut Foundation before coming back to NCSU as an Extension Assistant. She develops and instructs online classes in partnership with Longwood Gardens. Not only that, but she is the Digital Communications Director with the International Plant Propagator\u2019s Society (Southern Region of North America) and is a contributor and consultant for DK (Penguin Random House), where she recently worked on two books in the DK GROW series.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15517 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/endowment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/imported-files\/IMG_0630.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"289\" height=\"217\">Laura currently lives in the mountains of North Carolina with her partner Jimmy and their daughter Ossie, where they enjoy the many outdoor activities the area has to offer. Ossie loves playing at their neighbor\u2019s organic vegetable farm and the local garden center, and often provides a little free labor by harvesting produce and pulling weeds \u2013 perhaps a future horticulturist in the making! Laura also enjoys art and photography, and has had her work displayed in different galleries across the country.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">One exceptionally bright gold star on Laura\u2019s resume remains as a previous recipient of AFE\u2019s Seed Companies Scholarship in 2015. While we are thrilled to see a prior scholarship recipient thriving within the industry, we are even more excited to welcome her aboard the AFE team.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15518 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/endowment.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/imported-files\/1619454_10100677403520306_775594015_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"291\" height=\"218\">Among these accomplishments, AFE has recognized an extraordinary passion in Laura that appears to feed her hunger for experience and a positive vision for the industry.<\/span><\/p><blockquote><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cI\u2019m excited to bring my passion for science, communication, and education to AFE\u2019s outstanding research initiatives in my role as Research Coordinator.
