Laura grew up between Yakima and the Tri-Cities and has called the Seattle area home since 1999. Laura has spent the past twenty years working in the multifamily industry on the supplier partner side. Incredibly passionate about the housing industry and relationship building, she received her Certified Apartment Supplier (CAS) credentials from the National Apartment Association in 2020. Additionally, she serves on the Washington Multifamily Housing Association Board of Directors and is the Chairperson of WMFHA's Supplier Council. 

In Laura’s role as the Director of Property Partnerships, she leads Housing Connector’s Property Partnerships team.  The Property Partnerships team works with property owners and managers, helping to increase their occupancy rates and provide a benefits package to eliminate their risk, while offering an opportunity to be part of solving the housing crisis.

Outside of work, Laura enjoys weekend getaways exploring Washington State, live music (especially The Avett Brothers), reading, playing guitar, and spending time with her family. She currently lives in Kenmore with her two young adult children and family pets.
