Who we are
Laura's story
I’m a Senior Research Communications Specialist, specifically working for the Children’s Mercy Research Institute (CMRI). When I tell people that I work at CM, they often aren’t aware that research takes place here. I’m excited to tell them about the collaboration that happens between so many multidisciplinary teams – and share a little about what makes my role so exciting. My work involves communication, through channels that support our research staff, as well as providing communication to the public about the amazing work our research teams are conducting. I also work on initiatives that try to make research more understandable and accessible to potential participants and their family members. One of the best parts of my job is when I meet with kiddos who are participating in research studies at Children’s Mercy. Their stories vary but they all share one common link - their desire to find cures and hope for future families who might experience a similar diagnosis. It’s a privilege to work with these families and the talented teams at CM!
