Laura has a background in Arts and Culture and still sometimes works at venues and events across the globe. Born in England to Finnish parents, she has lived in Europe and America, coming to Sussex for an MA in Social and Political Thought, which led to a passion for local community action and the many groups supported by Sussex Community Foundation. She now calls Brighton her home and outside of the Foundation works on community arts projects and volunteers at a day centre for young people experiencing homelessness.
Fun fact: Laura has ridden horses with cowboys in Texas.
