Haywood Road Branch
864.289.2111

With over 20 years of industry experience, Laura knows that each person has their own vision for their financial future. She works with her clients to refine that vision and build a comprehensive plan, helping them organize their financial lives so they can work to pursue their goals and gain confidence around the financial decisions they are making at every stage of life.

Laura began her career in the financial services industry at A.G. Edwards in 2002. She worked there throughout her college years with a team of advisors and began to learn what it means to truly serve clients. After she graduated from North Greenville University in 2006, where she earned her BA in English, she accepted a full-time position. What had started as a temporary job to help build and bind presentation materials turned into her passion and career. Since then, she has assumed many roles and has progressed from a client associate to a financial advisor and managing director of investments. Her passion is building trusted relationships with her clients and delivering investment advice and guidance so they can live the life they choose.

Outside the office, Laura enjoys spending time with her family. She likes to be outdoors, whether hiking, caring for horses and riding dressage, or riding her ATV. She also likes to travel, read, write and take care of her property. Active in the community, Laura donates her time and financial support to her local chapter of Meals on Wheels and her church. She and her husband live close to family in Anderson, South Carolina, with their young son.
