About
Laura is a first-year Masters Student and the current President of the FHIS Graduate Student Association. She holds her BA from UBC where she specialized in both French and Italian. Being born and raised in the diverse community of Vancouver gave Laura an immense appreciation and passion for language, which she believes is the first step in sharing cultures, creating empathy, and understanding. She adores teaching and hopes to pass on the same joy to her students that her studies give to her.
When she’s not buried in books or unmarked assignments, Laura can be found hiking the trails of North Vancouver with her canine companion Poochini.
