Life's Not Linear with Laura Schmidt
Laura Schmidt has gained so much through the different leaps she has made in her career. Starting out at a corporate company, Laura was able to work on a lot of personal professional development. After some great years at Northwestern Mutual, Laura took some time off to tend to her family, with the intention of coming back and jumping back in. What Laura didn't know is that she'd be jumping into the K-12 space. Through her work in the community, Laura ended up at MSOE and is now an integral part of the Milwaukee Tech Hub. This just scratches the surface of where Laura has been and what she has learned. Her biggest takeaway: know your worth, know your strengths, and learn from others.
