In 2001 Laura moved to Telluride to work at the local animal clinic inspiring her to complete a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from St. George’s University in Grenada, West Indies in 2007. After her clinical year in Australia she did her internship at a shelter in Bali, Indonesia. Over the next 20 years she worked in a variety of hospitals and shelters in positions ranging from TNR (Trap Neuter Release) Coordinator to Executive Director.
Another area Laura is passionate about is fostering kittens and special needs cats and she remains active with that. Laura also had a history, before joining the staff of Second Chance, of volunteering for various Second Chance outreach and fundraising events where her energy and enthusiasm were always so welcome.
Additionally Laura shared, “I have supported Second Chance’s Telluride Thrift Store since it opened knowing the money saves homeless animals and now I am thrilled to be a part of this amazing organization!” In her spare time Laura can be found skiing, mountain biking, riding horses, teaching fitness classes and lecturing on plant-based nutrition, in other words she doesn't sit still for long...
