Laura Berlinberg

Hi everyone! My name is Laura Berlinberg (Hammerman) and I am from Denver, Colorado. A long stint at JCC Ranch Camp solidified my value of the Jewish community, but also of everything outdoors including backpacking, hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing. I live in the Colorado foothills with my husband and our sweet Husky, Penelope. Professionally, I studied Marketing, Finance, and Entrepreneurship at the Leeds School of Business at CU Boulder before earning my MBA from the University of Denver. I work as an Enterprise Account Executive selling marketing technologies to strategic accounts at Adobe. In my free time, nothing warms my heart more than an outdoor adventure in the wilderness of Colorado. I also love cooking, baking challah and cookies, and travelling. I joined JWI to help empower women to be as free and safe as possible while pursuing their personal and professional goals. It's a pleasure to be here!
