As Vice President, Laura is responsible for the coordination of efforts over all initiatives of the company, including strategic planning, marketing, public relations and budgeting, as well as supporting the project leaders in due diligence and execution of individual projects.

Prior to joining Global Ventures Group, Laura was a real estate broker at KIG CRE, a boutique brokerage firm based in Chicago that focused on institutional multifamily properties.  In 2018, KIG CRE was acquired by Cushman & Wakefield, where Laura pivoted to the role of senior analyst for the Midwest Multifamily capital markets team. As an analyst, she executed feasibility studies, conducted comparative market analyses, and co-authored industry reports based on proprietary market intelligence and data-driven insights.

Prior to joining KIG CRE, Laura was the project manager for the renovation of a 200-unit multifamily building. There, she oversaw capital improvements to the exteriors and interiors, including a gut renovation of each kitchen, while maintaining a building occupancy rate of over 95%. Laura has also worked as a leasing associate, responsible for marketing, lead generation, and leasing apartments throughout the Chicago area. She has experience as a broker in both landlord and tenant representation, negotiating retail leases for single-site and multi-tenant developments.

Real estate has always been a part of Laura’s life, as she is the third generation of a family involved in the development and management of over $1 billion of commercial and residential properties over the years throughout the Chicagoland area and Wisconsin.

Laura holds a managing broker license in Illinois and graduated from Illinois State University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. Outside of her profession, Laura enjoys spending time with her family and being outside as much as possible.

She has a passion for running and cycling, and competes as a top amateur in multiple triathlons and marathons each year.
