Who Do We Think We Are?
Laura plays the piano reasonably well and squeaks along on the cello, though not both at the same time. And while she pays the bills by working as a systems support analyst, her true passion remains gospel study.
It’s a fact that a standard Sunday church curriculum can be a little boring at times, so Laura is always looking for and discovering new ways to make personal gospel study more meaningful, and to share those with other women.
Her favorite scripture verses are Isaiah 41:10 and Alma 41:14-15.
She will be the first to tell you that she’s not perfect, which is why the atonement matters.
She realized she had a call to write when she was in junior high and won a couple competitions for some (marginally fictionalized) short stories from her own life. After graduating from Southern Utah University in Communications, Journalism, she began writing and designing material in marketing for a health insurance company. Fast forward 10 years, she attained her lifelong goal of running a thriving business from her home. Prior to developing an independent marketing graphics company, Larsen Tidswell Creative Studios, she was the corporate marketing manager at Grubb & Ellis, a national commercial real estate firm.
Anna served a mission in Sydney, Australia, currently claims she’s from Los Angeles, and works with the young women in her ward. Someday she’ll get back to the musical theater stage – her true “happy place.”
