Laura or better known as Babbs, was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, and as a little girl was obsessed with the American Girl historical books, fairies, the color pink, her scooter, and worms. Babbs is a proud alumna of CU Denver (go lynx!), where she majored in English literature. In Babbs’ senior year of college, she got a work study job in the CU Denver Undergraduate Admissions office. The work study job introduced her to the field of higher education. She will always be thankful for that work study job and all the ways it helped her grow personally and professionally.

You will find Babbs taking walks around campus in thrifted clothes (she is currently working on adopting the coastal grandmother aesthetic), with an iced oat milk vanilla latte in hand, and listening to her favorite band, The 1975. She is a huge fan of Matty Healy and Kate Middleton and is a Capricorn sun and Gemini rising. Her favorite flowers are lilacs, and she loves to watch PBS programs and Seinfeld. Her dream job is owning a bookstore/coffee shop in a college town.
