What is there to be said about Laura that wasn't already mentioned in Variety's list of the Top 10 Vegan Post Production Supervisors of 2020 listicle? She organizes calendars like it's nobody's business, successfully wrangles the attention of caffeinated stakeholders, gives better creative feedback than some directors I've met, and is pretty darn good at playing Dungeons and Dragons as well. If you can look past her taste for reality TV, she's just about the best hire you can ask for on your post team.
