What Laura Says
From my very first conversation with Soodeh, I knew there was something special about her. We talked for two and a half hours! Despite her extraordinary academic background, she is wonderfully unassuming, warm, and easy to connect with. She cares deeply about every translation and truly understands the mission of the Cuddle Up with Laura series.
As the mother of a young daughter, Soodeh knows how important the words we share with children at bedtime can be. I especially treasure the connection we’ve formed across cultures. Our work together reminds me that, despite the things that sometimes separate us, we have so much in common. I am incredibly grateful to have her on the team.” — Laura
