Meet Our Team: Laura Dusso

Hi, I’m Laura Dusso

What is your day job?

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at Family Service Rochester. I specialize in youth challenged with trauma and adults challenged with suicide.

When did you join the board?

In 2014, I was honored to be invited into the first board of directors and it’s been amazing to be a part in the growth of Red Drop Resources.

Why did you join the board?

Kristina, the founder of Red Drop Resources, is an inspiration to me. Her father was my principle in high school, then I became friends with Kristina in adulthood where I leaned about her experiences with her father’s leukemia. I’ve been pleased to assist others going through similar situations. 

If you could say one thing to patients battling blood cancers in Rochester, what would it be?

I’m sorry this happened to you and Red Drop Resources cares about you. 

What are your favorite free-time activities?

~I have two playful golden retrievers that make me laugh each day.

~My exercise is bellydancing.

~I love the wind in my hair as I drive with the top down of my Jeep and when I jet ski on the Mississippi. 

What is your favorite quote?

“We’re all just walking each other home.” - Ram Dass 

Anything else you would like to share?

It is bittersweet to end my final term for the board of Red Drop Resources, but I look forward to other opportunities for serving on committees and volunteering to continue supporting those affected by blood cancers.
