Background

About Laura Ocallaghan

I emigrated to this great country in 1985 from Waterford, Ireland and became an American citizen in People ask me all the time if I would like to go back and live there, my answer is always the same - sure, I miss my family that are still living there, but the endless possibilities in the USA would be too difficult to give up. I am a true believer in the phrase "you reap what you sow". Work hard, be a good person and you will be rewarded! I have been married for 27 years and blessed with two beautiful daughters who are happy, healthy, smart individuals that I am immensely proud of. My passion is to help others, I am that person that prefers to give rather than receive. Leading a Chamber of Commerce is all about giving - support, referrals, connections, advice - it's where I belong! So, who am I? How do people view me? I reached out to friends, colleagues, members of my Chamber to give me a word that comes to mind when they think of me - Spirited, Dedicated, Hilarious, Friendly, Always Smiling, Hard Working, Spitfire, Exuberant, Positive, Resourceful, Kind, Looking out for others, Affable, Amiable, Passionate, Caring, Reliable, Dependable, Joyful to be around, a genuine friend that has your back, Vibrant, Salt of the Earth, Beyond Brilliant, Tireless Advocate. I'm pretty proud of what they came back with!
