Laurel was born in Illinois, but has called Oregon home since 1979. She graduated from Sherwood High School in 1991 and was fortunate enough to stumble in to the mortgage industry soon thereafter. She thoroughly enjoys every aspect of this industry because it continuously changes and therefore is learning new things every day. She has been with Summit Mortgage since 2004 and processes for Miles Rusth who constantly keeps her busy and on her toes at all time.
In her free time she kick boxes, walks, runs, practices her photography, cooks and reads voraciously. She loves design, art, architecture, traveling, wine, movies, music and football.
