About

Laura graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a BSc (Hons) in Environmental Science before completing a Masters in Business Management and Marketing at Edinburgh Napier University. Since graduating Laura has been involved in several events with people from all over the world - from helping international students visit and learn in Scotland to organizing a Highland games event for 100 people from the Middle East! In her spare time, Laura likes to play various sports such as hockey and horse riding as well as volunteering for the Sick Kids and Brownies here in Edinburgh. One of her biggest passions is traveling. Laura has been fortunate to have seen quite a bit of the world, so meeting students from places where Laura has never been is an exciting prospect. Laura loves meeting new people from all walks of life so hopefully, she can share her understanding and knowledge of studying in Scotland when you arrive so you can have as fantastic a time as she did.
