FOUNDER

Before she could see over her grandpa’s steering wheel, Laura grasped the long-term focus, innate practicality, and grit it takes to operate a successful multigenerational farm. To strengthen opportunities in rural America, Laura draws on over fifteen years of experience in natural resource policy nationwide and trusted partnerships advancing public policy and production agriculture hand in hand. She specializes in strategic project management, legislative and regulatory advocacy, and education and outreach on Capitol Hill and through grassroots engagement, bridging rural and urban networks and finding common ground to benefit multiple constituencies. Understanding that consumers and producers are partners in food production and environmental conservation, her industry experience spans leadership roles in a multinational corporation, ag tech startup, and NGO. Laura attended Kansas State University and George Washington University Law School, where she also served as adjunct faculty in the GWU Department of Political Science. Outside of work, she chases daylight with her two wonderful daughters.
