Laura is the Project Manager for Tiny Earth at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She oversees a variety of projects that support the Tiny Earth mission of inspiring and retaining students in the sciences while addressing one of the most pressing health challenges of our century – the diminishing supply of effective antibiotics. Laura’s goal is to help keep the Tiny Earth team’s array of projects and events organized and on track by setting priorities and managing tasks. One of the most rewarding aspects of her role is collaborating with staff and stakeholders to apply different perspectives to problem-solving. Laura brings a wealth of previous experience to Tiny Earth from her management of programs in the private defense and healthcare industries. While the assistant to Tiny Earth’s founder, she co-led the Kohler Fellows program.
