She holds a First-Class Master’s degree in Management and Marketing, blending strategic insight with real-world experience to create marketing that feels manageable, meaningful, and effective.

What drives Laura most is people — not just results. Her approach is all about helping business owners communicate their value, build trust with their audience, and show up consistently online without the overwhelm that often comes with doing it alone.

Outside of marketing, Laura has a long-standing love of dance and fitness. She trained as a professional dancer, qualified as a Pilates instructor, and still teaches dance fitness classes each week. This background gives her a unique understanding of community, wellbeing, and purpose-driven businesses.
