Laura has been a groupie in the arts scene since she was 14, going to all-ages shows and then eventually taking photos of her favourite artists, including the cover shot of Joel Plaskett's Truthfully Truthfully album. She eventually started freelance writing and interviewed Sarah McLachlan, Nelly Furtado, Boy George and more. That lead her to journalism school, where she reported for CBC and Rogers Radio for four years. Eventually she found her way back into the music world and worked as Export Development Officer and Communications Manager for Music Nova Scotia. She has also managed and produced for the Halifax Jazz Festival, CAPACOA, the East Coast Music Association. In 2015, Laura mentored with the top-tier music marketing team at Black Box in Los Angeles, mentoring with Livia Tortella. She has juried for Music Nova Scotia, Halifax Pop Explosion, CBC Music Searchlight competition and the Junos.
