LAURA'S BIO
Hey, I’m Laura!
I’m a twenty-something Frederick County native and proud of it!
I can easily say that music is my oxygen. My life has revolved around it! Also, I’m a sucker for a good view. I swear 90% of the pictures on my iPhone are sunsets.
You’ll probably catch me wandering around downtown Frederick or walking through Baker Park!
