Head of Student Recruitment
Laura Schmidt
Laura holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Demography and Tourism and also has over 25 years of international experience in the luxury hotel and travel industries, where she has worked with many well-known brands. Fluent in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish, Laura is a truly multicultural executive: she has lived in New York, Barcelona, Buenos Aires and Oxford.
Consequently, she has a broad understanding of other cultures, including those of many countries that are either clients or suppliers of Oxford Online Learning.
This experience means that Laura can be depended upon to provide the required synergy and service to attain the level of excellence we expect our prospective students and their families to demand. As a mother of two globally-multilingual young adults, who have studied in both Spain and the UK, she has experienced first hand the concerns of learners studying abroad and their families.
