In Laura's words...

What do you like most about working at Fairmont State?   Fairmont State truly feels like home. From summer camps as a child to school events growing up, and eventually earning my degree here, Fairmont State has been part of my life for years. Being able to work here now makes that connection even more meaningful.

What do you like to do in your free time?   I enjoy baking and crafting. Both allow me to be creative and unwind. I love being able to make things by hand, whether it’s a sweet treat to share or a craft project I’ve been working on.

Where are you originally from?   I grew up in the small town of Carolina, about 10 miles outside of Fairmont.

If money was no object, what would you do with it?   I’d build my dream home with a swimming pool and enjoy a little more time relaxing and doing the things I love.

What did you want to be when you were growing up?   I wanted to be an interior decorator when I was growing up and even began college in that major. Over time, I discovered that graphic design offered more opportunities to be creative, so I made the switch.

What is an interesting or fun fact about yourself?   In 2009, I studied abroad in Italy. While I was there, I had the opportunity to meet relatives and spend time with them in their hometown, which made the experience especially memorable.
