Laura Rodriguez-Carbone

I am a Community Outreach Coordinator, Strategic Planning Manager, and Politician currently living in Lakewood, Ohio.

I am a passionate public servant who works to connect people through advocacy, education and community engagement. In 2017 I was recognized by Crain's Cleveland Business Magazine as one of their Forty Under 40 for my community work.

Through my work in community outreach, I actively foster communication between diverse community groups, connect people with needed services and educational opportunities, and engage community networks to take action to make Northeast Ohio a better place.

As a proven and demonstrated leader, I utilize the benefit of my education and professional experiences to support community organizations through professional development, strategic planning and program development, as well as through active board memberships.

I retain a Bachelor of Arts in Political Sciencefrom Cleveland State University and a Master of Public Administration in PublicPolicy from the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

In January of last year, I was selected by Lakewood City Council to serve on the Lakewood Wellness Foundation Planning Task Force, where I continue to take an active role in building a grant-making foundation that will address Lakewood’s community health and wellness needs following the closure of Lakewood Hospital.

Currently, I am a candidate for Member of the County Democratic Central Committee in Lakewood's Ward 1B.
