Friday was Laura's last day with OLLIE.  She will be missed.  Check out the videos she made with her students.
 

 
Laura's teaching technique was devastating!

Laura helped create the OLLIE Youth Media program 5 years ago, as a partnership between Portland Community Media and MetroEast Community Media.  During that time, thanks to Laura's hard work and dedication, OLLIE grew and expanded into the nationally recognized program that it is today. 

In addition to her incredible leadership, Laura also found the time to work directly with hundreds of youth throughout Multnomah County, affecting their lives in a positive and meaningful way. 

On behalf of all the OLLIE staff, and all of the students and teachers that OLLIE has worked with, I would like to say, "Thank you Laura, for everything.  This world is a better place because of you."
