Laura is a poet, essayist, memoirist, and teacher. From the time she could hold a pencil, writing became an instinctive way to capture her perspective on everyday moments—the ordinary, the remarkable, and the difficult. Over time, this practice evolved into a daily habit, a way of making sense of the world. Her writing fills journals, book margins, scrap paper, and Google Docs. Lately, she has been “digging” through these fragments, shaping them into collections that bring meaning to memory.
