Since getting her B.A. in dance, Laura has worked as a dance instructor, therapeutic assistant, paraprofessional and middle school teacher. In 2020, they began a process-oriented project-based collaborative dance company: dollop dance theater. dollop is an interdisciplinary dance company creating approachable works using a light-hearted lens of humor and humility.
