As the 10th of 12 children, Laura has only known a life full of people and conversations. Customer service/inside sales was a natural career choice for her after graduating from Tulane. After spending 5 years with Georgia Pacific as an inside sales rep in their paper division, Laura left the corporate world to raise her family but always managed to be in volunteer roles that involved lots of people and plenty of conversations. She co-chaired the neighborhood swim team, was Social Chair for her neighborhood HOA and volunteered as docent at a local historic home. Yes, all required LOTS of people skills and conversation.
Easing back into the working world, Laura became an associate at Pottery Barn and then an inside sales associate for a Realtor group. She joined the NterNow team in December of 2018 as the company's first Customer Care Specialist. She enjoys reaching out to NterNow clients, learning about their business and their needs, and how we can help clients sell homes faster.
When she is not working, Laura enjoys playing tennis and spending time with LOTS of family and friends.
