I learned they wanted to return to their past hobbies but had different functional needs. Together through trial and error, we would come up with a way to make that happen."

Laura has an active role as the business manager and singer of the longest running feminist choir in the country called Anna Crusis Feminist Choir. She also is actively learning American Sign Language and enjoys baking traditional Italian cookies, cakes and pastries for friends and family.
