Boston native Laurie has worked in film/Tv , non-profit, and corporate marketing worlds before coming back to her true love - Sports. After many years of organizing sporting events, in her spare time, for her friends and family to come together and enjoy, Laurie saw organizing events as a full-time opportunity to engage LA community and heighten the popularity of women's soccer. This is her 2nd year as Team Manager for Real SoCal Soccer Club, and she was Site Manger for her daughter's volleyball team in USYVL. Laurie is a graduate of University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She has her "F" Coaching License, and enrolled for her "E" License. Soccer has been a huge part of her life: Her two kids Becca 14, and Carter 12 have been soccer players from the age of 4. She is well-versed with the women's Professional and Collegiate game of soccer, and has been lucky to attend the Women's world Cup and NWSL Final in Houston, with her family. Laurie plays in 2 different soccer leagues in her spare time, as well as climbing the mountains in her backyard. Huge Patriots fan and any Boston Sport for that matter. Laurie is trying to build the women's game of soccer by creating, planning and partnering with other organizations to create programming for women to have the opportunities to experience sports, unity, competition, and confidence to build a foundation in life.
