​While growing up in White Plains, New York, Laura desperately wanted to play the Head B In Charge Duchess in a school production of TWELFTH NIGHT. She was cast as the funny maid who hangs out with drunks instead. When Laura got her first laugh, she knew that was the dragon she would chase from now on.

A graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and UCB, she performed stand-up, improv, and sketch at bars, former strip clubs, current yoga studios, and actual dungeons throughout NYC and LA.

Laura loves writing comedies about fed-up women on the lowest rung of life's ladder who find surprising ways to challenge the patriarchy.

Her romantic half-hour comedy, BODICE RIPPERS, is Black List Recommended, an ATX Festival Pitch Competition Runner-Up, a CineStory TV Retreat Comedy Scholarship Winner, PAGE Awards Finalist, Roadmap Writers Top Tier Competition Winner, and a Stowe Story Labs Fellowship Winner. 

After writing a modern, female Robin Hood workplace half-hour comedy, STORM THE CASTLE, and wrapping production of an audio drama adaptation of BODICE RIPPERS, Laura is currently writing a witchy comedy feature. 

Credits include Consulting Producer on MTV's LOVELINE WITH AMBER ROSE and Quibi's SEXOLOGY WITH SHAN

and Sketch Writer for Awestruck's ASSHOLE PARENTS. Laura has also written for Ora TV, Disney Television Animation, Viacom Velocity, Here TV, and A&E Networks Digital.

She joined THE HOMETOWN PROJECT to write social media and voter engagement videos for celebrities partnered with down-ballot candidates.

Laura founded the grassroots gun reform group DRAIN THE NRA, which has been covered by The New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter, CNN, HLN, and The Project. She also worked as a field organizer for Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign.

Laura lives in Los Angeles with her husband, son, and terrier, Ruffles. When she's not watching Little League, you can find Laura sipping dirty martinis and dancing at The Garibaldina Society.
