Laura Moody started her energetic business career in California, culminating in being voted "Y2K Woman Marketer of the Year" for Southern California. While in position as the International Barbie Marketing Director for Mattel from 1996 to 2000, Laura promoted the "Sign Language Barbie". Under her supervision, this unique Barbie went on to become one of the best selling Barbies world-wide for 1997. In addition, she was responsible for organizing 40th anniversary parties for the Barbie brand around the world, including in France, Canada, New York, Japan, Brazil and Australia. She followed her position at Mattel by being named the Marketing and Community Relations Director for a pharmaceutical company. Under Laura's fresh marketing approaches, the company's sales tripled within her first year. While there, in addition to sales and marketing, she took on the additional responsibility of training patients how to assimilate back into society following serious illnesses. This turned out to be very satisfying and rewarding for Laura. Laura is optimistic and vibrant. She has a resilient spirit which shines outward brightening those around her. Her personal and business experiences have taught her that the human will is unbreakable. Laura shared her insights by becoming a published author in 1997 when she finished a book on how to recover and move on after experiencing personal tragedy. After moving to Utah in 2004, Laura was introduced to the real estate business. She performed a very thorough investigation of several real estate companies and determined that @Home Realty Network offered the best training and value to its agents. "@Home Realty Network is the real estate company I felt I could really get behind," she explains. Her genuine interest in people and their individual success is her top priority in her position as the Career and Marketing Director.
