Hello, I'm Laura!
For nine years, I regularly stood at starting lines, anticipating the unknown. As a track athlete, I trained for every race, but uncertainties always remained—competition, weather, even shoes coming untied (yes, that happened... more than once).
​​
Races are unpredictable, but being prepared with the help of good training partners is key.
​
While my track spikes have long been retired, I've found the same pressure in my world of marketing and communications. I firmly believe EVERY ORGANIZATION needs a communications professional on their team to be successful, but not all can afford one full-time.
​
I understand—I've started businesses and worked in ministries, nonprofits, and political campaigns. That's why I created Starting Line Communications: to offer organizations the best beginning for their race.
Let's get started!​​​
My heart comes to life when I take something good and make it great!

My professional journey has included many starting lines, all building towards the knowledge, experience and expertise I will bring to your business journey!

Flexible on Time
As my side business, I create a realistic timeline with my clients, but ask for grace too as I work 4 days/week at my regular job.
On A Budget
Since this is a side gig business, I offer very competitive rates. In exchange for your time flexibility, I make my services realistic to those with lower budgets.
Looking to Learn
If you are looking to maintain your communication systems on your own moving forward, I will teach you how (but I offer follow-up services as well).
