She has varied technical skills and interests. As a freelance writer, she enjoys having the opportunity to write about interesting and varied topics. Laure is also fortunate enough to have the insight that comes from living a life filled with a wide-range of experiences - with experience being converted into fuel for writing.
Running a small upholstery shop for several years - where she specialized in customizing street rod interiors - provided both experience and insight into the world of small business.

As a lifelong writer and avid reader, Laure decided go to college after spending a few years in the work force and finding she wanted to be able to contribute more than she was able to accomplish without a degree. Her college education was focused in the area of business - with a minor in global business.
