She is on top of her game and has provided seminars for major events at WPI’s Entrepreneurship Center for several years. Her expertise, confidence, subtle humor, and audience banter make her interesting and memorable. I highly recommend Laura if you need to make your PowerPoint presentations extraordinary or need to train your staff to present important projects with greater impact.
