Laura brings experience in project management, communication, and community engagement. After eight years in London working in Asset Management as a Project Manager, she returned home to New Plymouth. Upon her return, she co-founded Roar Collective, New Zealand’s first dedicated podcast production company, while starting a family. She led podcast projects with clients such as Venture Taranaki, Westpac, and the NZX.
A few years ago, Laura transitioned into the not-for-profit sector, contributing as a contract Project Manager at Building Wellness Taranaki and leading communications and engagement for Big Brothers Big Sisters. She is passionate about the region and its people, loves building relationships, telling meaningful stories, nurturing partnerships, and celebrating local successes.
Joining the Taranaki Foundation whānau is an honour for Laura, offering a chance to give back and make a lasting impact on a place she is proud to call home.
