Laurie thrives on singing to inspire others and believes this is her unique purpose in life. She is a guest artist at many special events throughout the West, has appeared as a soloist with symphony orchestras throughout California, and has performed lead roles at various Bay Area theaters.

Some of her favorite roles include The Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Shellie Nominee), Percy in The Spitfire Grill (Shellie Nominee), Sarah in Guys and Dolls, Rose in The Secret Garden, and Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar. She was also part of the Dean Goodman Award-winning cast of A Grand Night for Singing. Laurie was featured in Laurie Sings Gershwin, appearing on a FOX KTVU news special. She loves to volunteer every year, singing for the Hospice of the East Bay "Tree of Lights" events throughout the Bay Area. Additionally, she recorded a unique inspirational album, Even That, which was created to comfort those going through difficult times.

After an extensive foray into musical theater, cabaret, and inspirational music, and raising her three girls, Laurie felt inspired to do something new and unique—something that would inspire people to pursue their own dreams and life purpose. She realized that her strongest inspiration growing up was Karen Carpenter and that the lyrics to the songs the Carpenters sang told unique stories that resonated with her own life.

As a result, she dedicated several years to creating “Evening of Music and Reflection. “Laurie Sings A Song For You,” a Cabaret Concert inspired by the music of Karen Carpenter. This has been her proudest production to date.

Laurie is incredibly grateful for her family and acknowledges that she could not do what she does without their support—her mom, dad, sister, her wonderful husband Dan, and her three beautiful daughters Charlotte, Bridgette, and Natalie.
