Laura lives in Bendigo, Victoria with her husband Steve and two small children, where they are involved with the ministry of AFES. She completed the Diploma of Bible and Missions at Moore College in 2009 with her only (slight) regret being that her time could perhaps have been better spent studying course work rather than helping coordinate the annual college comedy revue. Having spent her early working days in television as a director/switcher for the Nine Network in Sydney, she is keen to point out that her professional skills are not limited to the media industry; having had a successful, albeit brief, career modeling shoes for the K-mart catalogue during her early teens. Laura finds great joy and refreshment through experiencing the many amazing ways that the gospel is celebrated within the creative arts.
