Laura is one of the most experienced guides in the Greater Yellowstone area! She began her guiding career in 2008, when she took a job teaching winter safety to visitors.
Laura spent her childhood in the Great Swamp of New Jersey, a protected wetland bustling with wildlife. She had the opportunity to grow up on a farm, with horses, goats, donkeys, and dogs. She spent her college years in the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont, where she pursued a degree in the fine arts and specifically, adventure photography. When not in class, Laura spent her time skiing and with UVM’s Outing Club. As a Club Leader, she organized trips and guided groups into the mountains to ski, climb, and backpack. Her favorite trips included skiing Tuckerman’s Ravine in the White Mountains and scaling rock faces in the Adirondacks.
It was love at first sight when Laura visited Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park. In 2001, she decided to call the valley home. She has become a published adventure photographer and stands by a belief that to grow as a person it’s important to take an unfamiliar step, to stumble across something beautiful and inspiring.
Her knowledge of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and her passion for photography complement her skills as an EcoTour Adventures guide. Laura especially loves winter guiding in Grand Teton where she can put her naturalist skills to the test, educating visitors about winter ecology and animal adaptations. That being said, she loves connecting guests to nature year-round, and she gets immense joy from bear sightings in the spring, summer, and fall. When she isn’t sharing the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem with guests, Laura plans countless adventures, climbing and skiing many peaks in the Teton Range, fishing the Snake River, harvesting her own firewood, and drawing creative cartoons.
Laura is a certified Wilderness First Responder, a PSIA certified Cross Country Ski instructor, and a certified University of Wyoming Outdoor Guide.
