Laura Wentworth is the President of LOT25. She is also an Associate Professor of Early Childhood & Elementary Education for Ohio University. She holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree and Master of Arts Degree in Early Childhood. She is currently enrolled in the Educational Leadership Doctoral Program at Ohio University. 

 

Laura first became acquainted with the Belize community through a mission trip. In the summer of 2004, while still undecided in her major as an undergraduate, she spent a week volunteering at San Narciso Elementary School. Because of the compassion of the Belizean culture and the overwhelming need for better educational resources, she decided she wanted to pursue education, with a goal of one day returning to help the community. This trip was also where Laura met her husband and LOT25 co-founder, Philip Wentworth.Laura is also a runner, animal lover, and crafter. Both enjoy movies and shopping.
