Laura was raised in Eureka, Missouri. She was first introduced to southern
gospel music by her father, who sang in a gospel quartet. At age five, she made
a personal commitment to start a gospel group at Southwest Baptist Univeristy.
During her college years, the Lord allowed her to begin a ladies’ quartet,
called HeartSong, which traveled across the country for more than three years.
Laura graduated from Southwest Baptist University in 2002 with a degree in
vocal performance and commercial music. Currently, Laura is the Partner
Development Manager for the
Springfield,
Missouri Convention & Visitors Bureau. As well as being a trained
vocalist, Laura has a natural ability to hear harmonies and the vocal
flexibility to sing a variety of parts. In addition to singing, Laura manages
the group and handles all scheduling and church relations.
