Laura was born in Dublin, Ireland. She received her BSc from University College Dublin and there completed her PhD in 2020. She then moved to the University of Oxford to carry out postdoctoral research in asymmetric catalysis and supramolecular chemistry. During that time, she served as the chemistry ED&I fellow and two terms as the President of Oxford Women in Chemistry.
