Laura Simone graduated from Western Carolina University with a degree in Hospitality Management. After completing her studies, she spent five years with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, where she gained invaluable experience and met her husband, Matt. Laura then chose to dedicate the next 14 years to raising their three wonderful children—Taylor, Ryan, and Emily—a period she feels truly blessed to have had. When she returned to the workforce, Laura joined TPC Prestancia as a Club Concierge before moving to River Strand Golf and Country Club, where she worked in Accounting and Human Resources. Laura became part of the Lemon Bay family in April 2025 and is thoroughly enjoying working with the staff and membership.
