A country kid through and through, Laura grew up on Menang and Goreng Noongar country on WA’s south coast.

Having a keen interest in “fairness” and positive environmental outcomes since she was a kid, her path to Yarnin Seeds now seems inevitable. 

In addition to volunteering on a range of revegetation & environmental projects, she has now been involved in on-Country knowledge-sharing in a professional capacity for over 5 years. Her hands-on experience is backed up by a Bachelor of Business, and post-graduate certificate in Environmental Management & Sustainability.

Laura has lived and worked in several remote and rural locations across Australia, and loves this aspect of her work with Yarnin. In her free time, Laura enjoys hiking, swimming and reading.
