About Laura
The first podcast that I ever produced debuted in Apple’s Top 50 for Society & Culture. I’ve been writing and producing for both audio and video ever since.
I love partnering with journalists, writers, and creative teams to make podcasts that leave a mark with their audiences.
I’ve seen podcasts open so many doors for my clients and collaborators — like book deals, sponsorships, speaking gigs, and much more. But here’s what you need to know about me: I will always push for authenticity versus what’s cool or popular.
Whether you want to entertain, report, or give advice — audio is the perfect medium to be your most real self. That’s what your listeners will connect to and it’s why they’ll keep listening.
Experience:
My first career was in marketing. I wrote ads, scripts, web copy, social media content, and articles designed to capture large audiences. After working on two popular interview shows, I committed to audio full-time. In 2022, I attended the Salt Institute to study the art of documentary.
I've now sound-designed and produced for narrative podcasts, chat shows, and public radio. I love working in this medium because I get to be both an editor and an artist. Helping people tell stories and communicate who they are feels sacred.
If you need a reliable creative partner, producer, or sound designer to join your team, I’d love to hear about your project!

This Is Nashville is a live one-hour daily show of WPLN News. I served as This is Nashville’s Technical Director and often helped producers with story editing, production, and sound design. Inside the Council Chambers was a very popular unique segment about Nashville city council members that I story edited and sound designed.
For this episode, I was the on-the-ground narrative producer for two separate events: a Day on the Hill for a Tennessee reproductive rights groups, and a drag show that benefited an abortion care nonprofit. I conducted over 20 sit-down interviews and collected ambi and vox pops from attendees that would help tell the story of these important events.
Seasonal narrative podcast that I developed, managed, produced, reported, and sound designed. They Got Acquired is about the life-changing business acquisitions and founders who don't follow the Silicon Valley narrative.
Seasonal long-form interview and educational podcast that I co-produced, edited, and sound-designed for three years.
