With more than two decades of experience in policy and politics, including staffing legislative offices, helping to elect dynamic new leaders, serving in key leadership and advisory roles in groundbreaking issues campaigns, and a lengthy track record of successful legislative and policy advocacy, it is no surprise that Laura is one of the most savvy, seasoned, and respected lobbyists in Augusta.

When she’s not stalking the halls in Augusta, you can find Laura hiking or camping throughout Maine, practicing yoga, cooking with friends and family, or giving back to her community by applying her eye for detail and skill for organizing to any of the numerous local boards, committees, and commissions she has served on.
