She built her career in venues like Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden and Carnegie Hall.

Laura made the shift to video screen content and programming media control systems in the early 2000s. She spent a decade refining a content delivery workflow, and established herself as a Screens Producer leading a highly regarded Media Operations team for prominent events
around the world. Her shows included the MTV Video Music Awards, The Game Awards, the Turner Upfront and the CMA Music Awards. She has worked on installations for major brands like Nike and the PDX Next terminal redevelopment project that opened August 2024.
