About me
Hello! I’m a former on-air correspondent for CBS News & contributor to the BBC, with 14+ years of experience in news writing and on-camera reporting.
Now an independent freelancer, I offer public speaking coaching and media training to help you sharpen your message and show up with confidence in high-stakes moments.
Based in New York City, I also moderate live events, from author Q&As to executive conversations, with experience at the New York Stock Exchange, SXSW, and leading universities.
Need me virtually? I’m available as an on-camera spokesperson with 4K video and studio-quality audio.

Laura REALLY is a cut above the rest. There is a reason why she can charge what she does as you are getting a level of quality that, frankly I can't see you getting anywhere else! Quick, Professional, and so on the ball; As a UK customer I thought there might be a cultural issue but she gets it, regardless of where you are from. Exceptional.

Laura was great to work with. She quickly helped me identify areas where I could improve and gave me practical tips that I was able to implement right away. Her feedback was constructive, encouraging, and easy to understand, which made me feel more confident as we worked through the session. I highly recommend her approach and her services.
