In addition to teaching, Laura enjoys playing contemporary music. Most recently, she can be found on the soundtrack of John Alyward’s 2023 Chamber Opera Film, “Oblivion” for Soprano, Tenor, Baritone, Viola, Cello, Bass, Electric Guitar, and Acoustics, which won the award for “Best Musical Film” at the 2025 Cannes World Film Festival.

While a graduate student at NEC, Laura took pedagogy under Magdalena Richter. She has taken Suzuki training with Judy Bossuat-Gallic, Teri Einfeldt, Linda Fiore, Kirsten Marshall, Carol Smith, and Lynn McCall. She has registered for Suzuki teacher training in Violin Units 1 through 10, and in Suzuki Early Childhood Education.

Laura endeavors to prioritize working with young musicians for the duration of her career and to be a “life-long learner” in furthering her pedagogical awareness. Laura frequently attends workshops and SAA conferences and loves learning from and observing her colleagues. When she’s not at NEC, Laura can be found tending her plot in the Fenway Victory Gardens, or filling her farm stand in Rhode Island with freshly baked bread!
