Laura holds a Bachelor of the Arts in Theater Arts and Italian Studies from Dickinson College, and has completed additional training at Duke University, Yale University, the University of Bologna, and The Funny School of Good Acting. When she is not working, she enjoys exploring the city, baking fussy desserts, teaching her cat Parmesan to do cool tricks, and fighting for the New York Health Act, which would guarantee free, comprehensive healthcare for all New Yorkers.
Based in New York City’s greatest borough (Queens), Laura is also able to work locally in Philadelphia and Boston. She is proficient in editing & design softwares from Adobe (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, InDesign, Lightroom) and Avid (Pro Tools), and bookkeeping & administrative programs from Microsoft and Google (including Excel & Sheets), as well as Quickbooks, MailChimp, Wordpress and most web builders. She was near-fluent in Italian when she graduated college, though it’s a little rusty now; she’s trying to learn French & Spanish but finds the Duolingo owl quite grating.
