Born in Jersey in the Channel Islands, Laura (26) first found interest in film and television when she repeatedly watched E.T. as a child. Her love for cinema, storytelling and salted popcorn developed further when she received her first digital camera at the age of 14 and culminated in her attending the University of Lincoln in England to study Media Production. Whilst at University she completed work experience with CBBC in London and TV3 in Dublin and after graduating flew to the USA to attend the New York Film Academy. Whilst living in the big apple for a year she directed a number of short films, crewed many others and gained a Diploma in Advanced Filmmaking and Directing.
She returned to Jersey with the intention of saving money to leave and pursue a career in Film but was spotted at a BBC Talent day and was offered a job as a Broadcast Journalist with the local news output -BBC Spotlight. Since leaving the BBC she has made a number of short films including the award-winning 'Tell' as part of the Branchage Film Festival.
