She is married with four children. Her two oldest started their education at St. Therese Catholic School.  They are both now at Pueblo County High School.  Her two youngest will be starting their education at St. Therese with one starting Pre-K this Fall.

 

Laura says : Catholic Education is important to me as I feel it gives our kids a great moral compass to navigate life.  I’m excited to be able to help continue the great education that St. Therese provides to our children. I am a member at Christ the King and also serve on the Diocesan Review Board.  My Catholic faith is important to me and my family.  I am blessed to be able to provide not only faith but Catholic education to my children.
