Laura cut her teeth in copy writing and marketing while obtaining her communications degree at Emerson College in Boston. She wrote radio spots for nightclub promotions and edited newsletters for promoters. Her words were heard across the dial on commercial and college stations throughout the region, and seen in the local entertainment listings. After graduation she remained in Boston to manage the legendary Paradise Rock Club for 2 years before moving to New York City and managing the Rodeo Bar (live music 7 nights a week!) and Life Cafe (of Rent fame). As a concert production freelancer, she worked with  Liza Minnelli, Ben Vereen, Yanni, and The Replacements, amongst others, and spent several years on staff at the New Music Seminar and as the showcase booking manager for the CMJ Music Marathon.

During her many years residing in downtown Manhattan she had the pleasure of serving as audience services manager for the Jean Cocteau Repertory at the Bouwerie Lane Theatre, operations manager at the Theatres at 45 Bleecker, and business manager for the Midtown International Theatre Festival. Most recently Laura was the theatre manager at Theatre 80 St Marks for seven years. She is a skilled event and entertainment producer with meticulous attention to detail.

Laura also spent nearly a decade as a New York City real estate agent where she gained extensive experience with copy writing and marketing for that industry. She successfully guided hundreds of clients through the city's legendarily competitive sales and rental processes. 

In 2014 Laura and her partner Tony Mann founded Fixer Productions to offer individuals and organizations tailored marketing strategies and comprehensive event and entertainment production services. No job is too big or too small; if it's not in her wheelhouse she has a network of skilled associates to call on. In her quest to understand every clients goals her first question is always, "What do you need?"
