Her Interview

Ten minutes with Laura

01What do you attribute your success to?

I would say, first, my mom. She's a single parent, and man, I have never seen anyone work as hard as she has, so that's what she taught me. And I'm going back to the passion for the impact, because I could do a lot of things, and I can learn a lot of things, but do I really like it? So, I don't know, it's just very important for me that if I'm going to do something, do it right. But I like doing it, and I'm doing it like what I do now. I know that the treatment that I teach, that I work in, helps people with depression, it saves lives, and that drives me. So I attribute my success to my mother, my mom, but also the passion and the impact of my career.

02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

Somebody once told me that when making a decision, it's not as important as to when you're making it. And that stuck with me. I was working with a provider, and I wasn't sure if I could go back to school, and I was like, maybe I could go back later. But the decision - you can make the decision, yes, I want to go back, but the most important part of the decision is when are you going to make the decision? Because you can go to school today, and I did, and I graduated. Or you can wait, and wait, and wait, but you still made a decision of going back. Just the when is so important. That stuck with me.

03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

I would say, like, stay resilient. Setbacks are part of the path, not the end of it. I'm thinking about me, just, I was a mom, I could've given a hundred excuses to not be where I'm at. But that just made me want to do it even more, so I could tell myself, I did it. So, be resilient. Setbacks are part of the path, not the end of it.

04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?

I would say the challenges and opportunities are awareness and education. Even though stigma is not as bad as it used to be, you know, it's okay to not be okay, and it's okay to talk about it, and it's okay to ask for help. So, awareness and education not only for the providers, but for the patients as well. One of the challenges would be awareness and education. And then, opportunity - just that. Just being able to talk about what we do, and educate on this treatment, on mental health itself. But it's okay. There's treatments, there's alternatives. And it's okay to ask for help.

05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

I think integrity is very, very important. Integrity is, like, the value - integrity is very important. Impact is very important, because if I am doing something, I need to make sure that I mean, and it, you know, it makes sense, the things I do. Compassion is very important. I know I guess, happiness and fulfillment. So, to answer your question, integrity, I would say impact is very important. Compassion, happiness and fulfillment. Because you don't feel good at something, you don't like it, it ain't worth it.
