She wanted to dance as a child, but her father insisted upon enrolling her in martial arts schools almost as soon as she could walk. Starting her martial arts career in Aikido, she graduated to Tae-Kwon-Do, then Jiu-Jitsu, and finally settling in Kung Fu where she earned her master's rank, studying Escrima and western Boxing along the way as well. After a shortish but lucrative career in women's kickboxing, she was approached by a man wishing for her to train his daughter as well. Remembering her childhood, she took the girl on as her student, gaining other students as time went on. Laura eventually required an actual studio setting to teach her growing number of students, and found a place with several other masters sharing studio space and hours with the other masters. A wiry blonde looker in her very early 40s, she looks younger than she is, and is quite soft spoken unless there are cameras rolling... a holdover from her career in kickboxing. Not one to take any guff, she sometimes feels she has something to prove among her male peers. She often feels she isn't taken seriously, though she is respected by the other masters. She has a decent sense of humor, and an innate understanding for the human condition.</blockquote>
