In my natural habitat
Ready to do this thing?
The way you do anything is the way you do everything.
That’s important to me.
I’ve lived several lives (not in the reincarnation way as far as I know). A perfectly beautiful storm of life’s adventures and opportunities has culminated into a seasoned, thoughtful approach to my writing.
I doubt you’re here to read a novel (I’m working on it, though), so here are some highlights…
I worked with children, teens, and their families as both an “on the front lines” staff and a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in high-level treatment settings for 14 years.
This is where I initially honed my writing skills with a forensic psychologist as my first mentor and supervisor – I learned that my words would have a lasting impact on kids and their families potentially forever (think court reports and such).
While your content needs may not hold this level of gravity, I take what I put into writing just as seriously and approach it with the same level of integrity.
I used to own and run a coffee shop in Santa Cruz, California, and have had my hand in several different businesses over the years.
I understand what it means to pour yourself into making a vision soar.
I’m a completely single mom to a bright and beautiful (nine-year-old) baby girl.
I have a lot of skin in the game when it comes to what I do for you. By consistently delivering incredible work, I’m showing up for all of us.
I’m in process with a Trauma-Informed Equine-Assisted Services certification through The Natural Lifemanship Institute…
…and spent six years living on a 40-acre horse ranch caring for about 40 equine friends (more on why this is a thing below).
I love copywriting and the written word.
It’s also a vehicle for manifesting my lifelong dream of developing my own equine-assisted program in service to kids, families, and caregivers in my community. It’s in the works, and as part of this journey, I currently support these amazing organizations, Warrior’s Soul and Horse ReCourse.
Just another compelling reason to pursue what I do for you with dedication and commitment.
I’ve been writing and marketing online since 2013…
…And full-time with freelance writing and copywriting since 2017. Relevant, but not terribly exciting. That’s why it’s down here.
I’ve spent an early portion of my freelance journey as an Executive Virtual Assistant (with a focus on content services).
This provided me the opportunity to serve and learn about a variety of businesses.
What did they all have in common? They were all created and run by incredible human beings doing amazing things through their vision to serve their audiences.
I’m an athlete and have been for over 35 years.
Once upon a time I was ranked #1 in the state of California and #12 in the nation for my college sport (crew) and attended the Olympic Training Center in San Diego, California. Discipline is my thing, and I apply it to every aspect of my life.
I’m a former fitness competitor.
I left off with a first-place win at my last competition in 2013 (here’s to ending on a high note). Sparkly bikinis and five-inch heels aside, see above re: discipline, baby.
My superpower is capturing brand voice and connecting with an audience. My background as a licensed therapist was a great opportunity to hone my intuition and I’m really good at listening… one of the most important things you can do as a writer (and human) in my opinion.

“Working with Laura to write a book got my newest business expansion off to a great start. I needed to go beyond just talking about my work to potential clients and cold audiences. I was seeking to establish my position and authority in this new arena and to create evergreen assets that would produce long-term results for my business. I started a podcast, but always answered no when business coaches asked about writing a book. A hard no.
Even though I knew it would be a valuable asset for my business, I knew there was no way I had the capability, time, or desire to sit down and write a book myself. Until Laura offered me her 30-day book service. I knew immediately that this was the right choice for both me and my business.
Laura’s interview questions drew ideas out of my brain and we linked them together into a cohesive book. Laura’s organizational magic and wordsmithing created a book that makes me smile every time I see it or think of it. Now I have an amazing asset and have achieved something I never thought possible – author!”
I’m excited about thought leadership and talking about things in a way that others aren’t… or about things they’re not talking about at all.
What does this all mean for you? That I’m going to do more than just turn out excellent, on-point content for you. I’m going to take a strategic, thoughtful approach to it and when you work with me you’ll know I’ve got you.
