Hello, I’m Laura.

I am a healthcare executive with 20+ years of experience assisting underserved patient populations. I’m looking for my next opportunity in the Madison, Wi area.

My Approach

Strategic Leadership Rooted in Mission and Impact

I bring over 20 years of experience leading complex healthcare and public health systems, always grounded in a commitment to equity, outcomes, and innovation. Whether transforming an $8M county health department, expanding access through FQHC leadership, or advocating for statewide workforce reform, I lead with clarity, vision, and a focus on results. My approach balances big-picture strategy with operational excellence, ensuring that systems work better for patients, for staff, and for communities.

Relationship-Driven Collaboration Across Sectors

Building trust across diverse teams, partners, and stakeholders has been at the heart of every success I’ve led. From cross-sector collaborations to advance behavioral health, to securing millions in funding for community-driven programs, I’m known for connecting the dots between people, systems, and solutions. My work thrives where relationships matter: in boardrooms, with teams, in legislative hearings, and grassroots initiatives.
