Laura began her career with Bank of America where she started as a loan officer and progressed to branch manager and then Vice President of the Private Bank. She then honed her securities skills as a stockbroker for Wachovia Securities (now Wells Fargo Advisors) and served as a trust officer for First National Bank Alaska.
