Laura is an experienced wealth management professional with more than 15 years in the Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) industry, specializing in client service, financial operations, account management, and advisor support. Over the course of her career, she has held a variety of roles ranging from Client Service Associate to Operations Analyst before earning her Financial Paraplanner Qualified Professional™ (FPQP®) designation from the College for Financial Planning. Today, she serves as the Operations Manager at Nicholson Wealth Management, where she oversees day-to-day operations, workflow management, and client experience initiatives to help ensure efficient and seamless service for clients.

Prior to transitioning into wealth management, Laura built a strong professional foundation in the hospitality industry, working in both restaurants and hotels, where she developed her passion for customer service, organization, and relationship management. Originally from South Carolina, she grew up along the I-26 corridor, from Lexington to attending USC Upstate, before spending a decade in Asheville working at a local RIA firm. She now proudly calls Johns Island home.

Laura is passionate about financial planning, operational excellence, client relationships, and creating meaningful experiences for both clients and colleagues. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, their two young boys, and their corgi. She also loves relaxing by the ocean and believes there is nothing quite like watching the waves roll in.
