Laura’s first radio gig was about location, location, location. “I chose a college radio internship mainly because I loved NYC and it would allow me to take the train in several times weekly.” After making her first bounce from The Big Apple to Sacramento, she made her way through three more states (and six more stations!) before coming to the Lowcountry. “I found myself really loving Charleston; the program director Mike Allen is the best, my golden retriever digs the beach and I met my husband here. It’s been the first place in my radio travels where I didn’t immediately have the itch to start looking where I could go next.” Soon to reach her five-year mark at 98 Rock and 105.5 The Bridge, Laura relishes the fact that they’re focused on the community. “If there’s a bike ride, run, walk or oyster roast for a local cause, you’ll hear us talking about it.”
