Through CDI, Laura has spearheaded the development of ten resume writing courses and certifications, five career coaching courses and certifications, international conferences, and six business start-up, development, and growth programs for entrepreneurs. Earlier in her career she developed university placement programs and held the role of Resume Expert for 54 US and international professional associations.
