Bio
Hello one & all! Welcome to my profile! I am Laura!  I am a retired 7 Cups Community Manager.



I love our community, it is a very special place! I believe what we are working towards will change the world!

My advice to you: join in! If it's uncomfortable, you are doing it right.

How am I doing? I am always hoping to improve and learn in my role here. Please share feedback for me here! All welcome!



I am thankful for my struggle because, without it, I wouldn't have stumbled upon my strength.

 October 24th, 2019
...See more Hello 7 Cups, After 5 plus years in my role, I have decided to step back from my role. It has been an absolute pleasure working with each of you and building this incredible community together. I am very proud of what we have accomplished together. I have been humbled by the opportunity to work at 7 Cups and with our community time and again. I know 7 Cups will flourish well into the future. Thank you for being on this journey with me. My last day is Friday, October 18th. Please come say goodbye at the following times this week: ----> Thursday, October 17 at 4PM ET ----> Friday, October 18 at 3PM ET I will be present in both teen and adult rooms! Please meet in Laura's Office! After this time, I will still retain my 7 Cups listener account, but will be less available. If youd like to stay in touch beyond 7 Cups, please reach out and I can share my non-7 cups email. Thank you for being my cheerleader and teaching me so much about myself, community management, the internet, love, support, and human nature. I have greatly enjoyed our time together and look back on it fondly. This is very bittersweet. Good Bye Video Message! [https://youtu.be/PwPo5M3jvFU] With Gratitude, Laura But what will happen with the community team structure after I leave? [https://www.7cups.com/forum/SiteUpdatesInformationFortheCommunity_100/CommunityInformation_742/WhatwillhappenafterLauraLeaves_210493/] PS - Id love to hear from all of you. Please share a memory of working with me or sharing in community with me. This will make me smile as I say goodbye.

We will make sure Heather has the bandwidth and time to dedicate to the teen community. Get Excited! And she has already begun! Fill out the teen survey here.

The ultimate istener anyone would hope or wish to connect to. She is the core, the engine, the drive, the brains...and she never abandons anyone...

Great listener!
She was really empathetic, and took the time to listen to me, and find out where I was coming from. :)
None she's wonderful. I just need the chat to go away :)
She is the most amazing listener and I appreciate everything she has done for me. Love her ❤❤
Very confident leadership.
Good response time
Despite being really busy with her role, she still would take out so much time to listen to me. I was totally in pain when I reached out to Laura, she responded my message very quickly and she has done anything she could to help me out, spent her precious time for me. Thank you so much for your time, encouragement, for being there, and the most importantly for being patient with me and lending an ear without any judgement and reminding me there's still a hope. Laura truly deserves a lot of appreciation. I wish her well.
Laura is a smart girl, direct and pragmatic.
Her words are always kind and warm, but go straight to the point without beating around the issues of unnecessary words.
It's comforting to talk to a listener who understands you so well, and who shows, with confidence, the right path for you.
Thank you so much, dear Laura.
She's an A+ community manager, always ready to help, solve and encourage. She's like a lightning bolt of kindness! I don't know what we would do without her ❤︎

I feel like she pays attention to everything I say, which is so important. I appreciate your time, Laura! You've made such a huge impact on my life
Laura is absolutely wonderful. Her positivity is contagious and she inspires me to be a better person every time we chat, without even trying!
Laura is absolutely wonderful. She is so willing to help out and listen to comments about 7 cups and work with members. I absolutely adore her!! She is very professional, courteous, warm, and gently takes your hand as she guides you. Please do not be intimidated by her professional degrees. Talk with her and you will be rewarded!
