Laura Stavlas

Laura is also a full-time Mommy to two adorable toddlers that have earned her first place in the semi-annual “My Baby Can Scream Louder Than Yours So Please Help Me God” contest as well as Honorable Mention in the “My Baby’s Head is a Lethal Weapon and I Survived Sleeping Next to it” competition. Yes, Laura writes her own Mommy awards.

Laura's extensive background in writing makes her a valued member of the Mellonaid team and helped earn Mellonaid several ADDY Awards in Creative Excellence. As Lead copywriter, Laura's mission is to articulate creative concepts in concise, memorable, expressions that resonate value, while assisting clients in constructing both creative and technical writing to complete the integration of both the visual and written components of design.

Before Mellonaid, Laura earned her MAT in English at UNC-Chapel Hill. She taught Language, Composition, Creative Writing, and Screenplay Writing to over 600 students during her five years teaching at Enloe, a nationally ranked magnet high school. Laura was also honored by UNC-Chapel Hill by being invited to return to the graduate program as a visiting lecturer where she taught graduate students for three consecutive summers. Laura has published three course curriculums for Wake County Magnet Schools. Combining her solid writing portfolio with her experience as an independent sales consultant, it comes as no surprise that Laura's passion is helping clients package the best words in the right expressions.

In her spare time, when she’s not dancing with her 3-year old, convincing her 1-year-old not to eat the flowers, or finding glitter in her hair from her little girl’s art projects, she enjoys blogging about her parenting adventures for a quickly growing Internet audience, and surprisingly is highly ranked among the top 25-50 mommy bloggers. If you’d like to visit her blog, send her an email. She prefers to keep her online blogging identity incognito due to a part irrational and part paranoid fear of Internet baby stalkers.
