Laura Crossley and her pup CP.

Name: Laura Crossley (she/her/hers)
Job Title: Counsellor
Years of Service: 2
Worksite: Kelowna Community Health & Services Centre
Community: Kelowna
Ancestral Territory: syilx
Favourite Quote / Advice to live by: I have so many: Vince Lombardi, Sun Tzu and Norman Schwarzkopf. But I will quote a line from Seinfeld, season 6, episode 16: "It’s not a lie if you believe it."

Laura grew up in the Lower Mainland in Coquitlam and attended Douglas College. After graduation, she moved across the country to Halifax and made her way back to B.C. after spending time in Red Deer, Alberta. She “dabbled” in sales and worked in the transportation business along the way.

In 2019, she moved to Kelowna where she started work at the Foundry, a wellness centre for young people aged 12–24.
