Say Hello to Laura Lane, Public Relations Manager

Tell us a little about yourself...elevator pitch style!

I am a former multi-award-winning journalist and a lifelong learner.

My passion is to successfully write a well-crafted paragraph.

What brought you to the Zucker School of Medicine and the world of higher education?
I worked for Northwell in their public relations department after years as a journalist and wanted to combine my enjoyment of that job with my love of learning.
