Throughout her career, Laura has:

  • Advised numerous colleges and universities, with budgets ranging from $100 million to $5 billion, to identify and implement opportunities to improve organizational efficiency, reduce costs and increase revenue. These assessments have spanned across all major operating functions, including budget, finance, facilities, human resources, information technology, research and student lifecycle support services.
  • Established a service line dedicated to providing comprehensive student lifecycle services and solutions to Huron’s clients, including strategy, organization design, business process improvement and technology.
