Keynote Speaker: Laura Miller

Laure Miller

Laura Miller, founder of the Secret Agent L (SAL) Project, performs acts of kindness and day-brightening all over Pittsburgh for an unsuspecting person to find. The SAL Project has blossomed into an international phenomenon of anonymous acts of kindness, with over 1,600 Affiliated Agents sharing in the fun and selflessness all over the world. Some of the countries that have participated in the project include Japan, Germany, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and Australia.

Laura, 33, is currently an administrative assistant at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh and holds a bachelor’s degree in English and Theatre, as well as a master’s degree in English Literature. She also models and acts professionally and has been working in the industry for over 13 years. Laura is actively involved in promoting mental health awareness and works closely with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Southwestern PA, on whose Board of Directors she serves as a member.

Laura remained anonymous until July 2010, when she revealed her identity at a charity fundraiser for NAMI. By putting a face to the project, she hopes to increase even more awareness around the importance of kindness and its increasingly powerful and positive effects on the world.
