Laura Parete
Community Engagement, Public Relations, and Strategic Communications in Connecticut
Hi, I'm Laura! I'm an experienced strategic communications, public relations, and community engagement professional who has a strong passion for connecting with people and communities. I currently work for an urban planning firm that is a consultant to various state agencies in the northeast and leads public involvement and community engagement initiatives.
I'm a lifelong Connecticut resident who graduated from the University of Connecticut (UCONN) in 2013 with a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology. After seven years of being out of school, I decided to pursue a Master's Degree in Public Relations after discovering my passion for the field and desire to continue learning and growing my skillset.
Outside of work and graduate school, I enjoy taking Peloton spin classes, visiting local coffee shops, and spending time with my husband Vincent, our golden retriever, Chance, and our friends and families.
