How you Dugan?

I’m Laura Dugan, a communications specialist with over 20 years of experience. I’m here to help you find the right words for all of your communications needs and to have fun along the way.

I have been a professional communications specialist for the entirety of my career and a stage manager on and off since middle school. The two jobs are not very different: both involve being able to get people to do what you need them to do.

I love my family, friends, theater, and cats. In my free time, you will find me watching funny YouTube videos, enjoying McElroy-related content, or reading.

I look forward to meeting new clients and building relationships with existing ones.

Why words?

I learned the power of the written word when I was about eight. That’s when I sent a letter to my grandmother requesting a larger Christmas stocking because mine was “very, very, very, very, very small” and “first grade sized”. My request must have been persuasive enough because my grandmother knitted me a larger stocking, which I hang with pride each holiday season.

Check out my Editing and Writing/Communications pages for more on my background or contact me to chat about how I can help with your communications needs.
