Now, she is a mother of two who is continuously inspired by the love of her children and husband and fueled by the relationships with her family and friends. As a first-generation Assyrian American, Laura learned an invaluable lesson from her parents: education is the only thing no one can take from you. This lesson resonated with Laura and ignited her passion for reading, writing, and equity in education. She is driven to make a positive and lasting impact on others.

She was born in Chicago, and is happily married with three children. A lifelong learner and educator, she challenges people of all ages to live out their own “Limitless Me.” Her motivation comes from childhood experiences, as there were times she struggled with self-doubt and fear. Over the years she has overcome those barriers by changing her perspective, speaking positivity into her life and believing beyond her limitations. She loves to share her story, and encourage others to climb the endless, beyond-the-clouds staircase to a world of possibilities along with her. Her motto is: If you believe, you can achieve more than you could ever imagine! LEARN MORE: HOME | Limitless Books (brittanyscottauthor.com)
