Laura was an inspiration and a light. I feel extremely privileged to have had the chance to work so closely with Laura. In the few years that I worked with her I learnt a lifetime of knowledge. How to be brave. How to demonstrate deep respect. How to listen and really hear. She became a close friend. She created a space for me to talk with honesty and truth, and she always took time to listen. I miss her deeply but am so grateful for all the time we spent together.
