Hi, I’m Laura…
I’m an interdisciplinary geoscience student working at the intersection of geography, GIS, and geology, with a growing focus on mapping and visualizing Earth and planetary processes. With a strong foundation in fieldwork, spatial analysis, and cartographic design, I explore how geospatial tools can help us better understand Earth’s systems and the processes shaping other planetary surfaces.
As a non-traditional student, I bring a perspective shaped by years of curiosity, travel, and hands-on experience beyond the classroom. This site is a space where I share projects, maps, and reflections as I continue learning, exploring, and finding new ways to communicate science through place, pattern, and story on Earth and beyond.
Off the Map: Fun Facts About me
My hair is a bit of a chameleon—people are always asking, “What color is it now?”
I can teach you how to flip upside down with ease—I’m a certified Suspended and Vinyasa Yoga instructor.
Meet my dog, Indiana Jones (pictured with me). She’s not one for adventures, but she’s the best study buddy a geoscience nerd could ask for!
When I’m not mapping the world or hitting the trails, you’ll find me stitching away on embroidery and cross-stitch projects.
