Fun Facts:
1. Laura wishes she'd stopped caring about other people's opinions of her earlier on.
"I wish I learned to not care what others think as much. It's a lot easier to do what you want to do when you're not worried about what other people are going to think of you."
-Laura Lee
2. HBO's Peacemaker is the show she's binged most recently.
"It is absolutely hilarious (a must watch)!"
-Laura Lee
3. She's as much of a Harry Styles stan as the rest of us, and even said that his concert was the best she's ever attended.
"I took my 18-year-old niece and we danced and screamed all night long! Concerts make the best memories. He just announced he's releasing a new album. I'm on the edge of my seat! I am a huge Harry fan!"
-Laura Lee
4. One thing she's not such a big fan of? Snakes. In fact, she calls them her biggest phobia.
"Maybe it's just a fear of one biting me. Yikes!"
-Laura Lee
5. Despite living in L.A., she's not such a big fan of seafood, either.
"I don't like seafood, and living in L.A., everyone wants to have sushi for dinner. I think I'm the only person left in L.A. that does not eat sushi. Send help!"
-Laura Lee
6. She has a cool trick she can do with her elbows.
"My elbows are super double-jointed, so any time I hold them up and share their weird bend, people scream! I love the reaction. As far as hobbies, I am an Uno card game champ! It's hard to beat me!"

8. She's worked really hard to perfect the art of making people feel heard:
"My biggest charter quirk is always making eye contact and engaging when people speak to me. I know this seems like a simple character quirk, but it's something I've worked on personally and I think people really appreciate it. Living in L.A. and continuously attending events, people can feel unheard or not noticed, and I always want them to feel comfortable and feel like I care about what they have to say."
-Laura Lee
9. She's a big fan of her home state's college football teams.
"I'm from Alabama, so naturally, I'm a huge Alabama football fan! I watch every game of the season. I love college football and the passion behind it."
-Laura Lee
10. Above all else, Laura's a true people person through and through.
"I think to the core of me I'm a light-hearted person that loves people. I love being social, laughing, and I love the energy of good people. I thrive off of it."
-Laura Lee
