I had the pleasure of collaborating with Laura during her tenure at Raytheon Corporation. Specifically, we partnered on the initial development and annual facilitation of a workshop on Flexible Work Arrangements for the entire employee population. Laura is consistently professional, dependable, and well-informed about all aspects of human resources.

Laura served as the primary resource for the large and ever-growing HR team regarding all benefits information. Her comprehensive understanding of how the benefits worked helped put employees' minds at ease during potentially difficult situations and enabled them to make the best-informed decisions possible.

In addition to her professional expertise, Laura was always empathetic and maintained a positive attitude, especially in challenging situations. Working with her was a wonderful experience, and we are all better off for it. She is sorely missed.

I can not say enough great things about Laura, her exceptional professionalism, extensive human resources knowledge, and her cheerful, informative, and credible manner, are unparalleled.

Patty joined our team at a critical juncture when the volume of HR transactions was at a critical mass due to a reorganization with the company. We hired Patty to take on this responsibility. I, and almost everyone else, were immediately surprised and duly impressed at how quickly she came up to speed, and how efficient and effective she was.

However, excellence in that role quickly made her a sought-after resource in other areas of HR. Accordingly, her next role was to serve as our Benefits Manager. To everyone's delight, Patty rose to the challenge, and again became not only a trusted and reliable source of critical information, but also one to whom employees would seek out because she treated them like her favorite customer.

It is not surprising, in my experience, that Patty rises to every occasion and opportunity with which she faces - even when it requires facing a hard change. Patty is successful not only because she digs in and learns her craft, but she brings an added spark of personality: she is kind, thoughtful, helpful, dedicated, commitment, keeps her promises, and on and on.

Everyone who interacts with Patty leaves a little (or a lot) better for having met her. It is privilege to consider her as a colleague and call her my friend.

Laura is an Exceptional Professional. I had the privilege of working with Laura in various capacities during her tenure at Raytheon, and I am delighted to recommend her.

Laura possesses outstanding qualities that set her apart:
-Depth of Knowledge: Laura’s expertise extends beyond the surface. She dives into her craft, mastering not only the fundamentals but also the intricate details and nuances.
-Connector Extraordinaire: Laura embodies the spirit of collaboration. She seamlessly bridges gaps, connecting people, ideas, and resources. Her ability to foster meaningful relationships is truly remarkable—it’s her superpower!
-Results-Driven: Laura consistently delivers exceptional outcomes. Whether tackling complex problems or leading critical projects, she approaches challenges with unwavering determination and creative flair. Importantly, she willingly shares credit with her team.
-Team Player: Laura’s collaborative spirit enriches any team she joins or supports. She willingly shares insights, supports colleagues, and contributes to collective success.

Laura is truly a special person, both as a colleague and a friend. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any professional endeavor.

I've known, worked with, and respected Laura for almost 10 years. She is a skilled and dedicated employee who has always performs in a superb manner. She assumed a more senior role in Benefits, when her Manager departed, and performed in a truly outstanding manner, demonstrating a knowledge and maturity beyond her years and ensuring the continuity of her department. Laura has mastered all of her roles while at Raytheon and it was refreshing to see her thrive and excel. I really can't imagine our organization without Laura. I am confident that Laura will bring the same approach and passion to any role she chooses to pursue. Any organization, fortunate enough to have Laura work for them, will be blessed.

I was fortunate enough to work directly for, and eventually with, Laura during our time owning the metrics/data for the Talent Acquisition organization at Raytheon. Laura regularly stepped in as a liaison and advocate for me if/when disagreements and/or data variances arose. As my manager, she provided 'top cover' to allow me to do my job as well as speak up on my behalf when needed. I appreciate her continued support and words of encouragement through tough times of transition. Her positive outlook and unwavering determination are skillsets that make her unique. I'm proud to have worked alongside Laura and definitely came out a more polished employee under her guidance and leadership.
