Laura discovered The Phoenix after moving to Las Vegas in October 2022. She attended her first hike at Red Rock Canyon and quickly found a welcoming community where she felt connected as an ally. Now a dedicated volunteer, she leads partnerships like monthly classes with Animal House Pottery and carries The Phoenix’s spirit of peer support into both the community and her healthcare career.
When asked what inspired her to become a volunteer, Laura shared, “The Phoenix changes how people perceive us, how we perceive treatment, and reminds us that we’re all human. Other places can feel impersonal and invalidating. The Phoenix provides a space for people of all backgrounds.”
Thank you for all that you do for The Phoenix Las Vegas, Laura!
