Laurie Graham
Operations Manager
laurie@rubincommunications.com
Laurie has had a wide and varied professional life. She was the first female to graduate from AEG’s “Tool School” on the eastern seaboard, which pioneered the idea of women participating in the sales of industrial power tools. As a result, she became a sought-after icon in the Washington, DC area in her pink hardhat and boots!
Laurie then turned her attention to design, fashioning interiors for numerous restaurants in Northern Virginia. She continues to accept random interior projects for friends and family as an outlet for her creativity. In fact she ran her own interior decorating and wallpapering business while she was a military spouse, raising two little girls.
Hired as a Registrar/Financial Aid Officer for a Beauty College Chain based in Dallas, she won the company’s highest sales award after only 6 months. And she did it again the following year, earning a promotion to the company’s trainer position where she traveled to 32 different schools and established her own sales training program. Later as an account manager for a marketing company in Salem, Virginia, she created promotional programs for clients including The Learning and Discovery Channels, Overnite Trucking and WonderCamp.
Laurie has worn lots of hats in support of company presidents, office personnel, sales teams, technicians, college students, management staffing, homebuyers, construction crews, and customers of all types and backgrounds.
Her organizational skills are top notch and she always demonstrates a reliable, prompt, organized, courteous, responsive and respectful personality.
Along with her sometimes crazy and busy lifestyle, she has raised two successful daughters, who both graduated from Virginia Colleges in May 2008 and are both working in the medical field. Though originally from Roanoke, Laurie has transplanted herself in Virginia Beach to be close to family and where she intends to stay!
