Early Life[]

ANTM[]

Laura was known for being very sexual, as well as her strong rivalry with Kyle.

In episode two, she received the first call-out for the toddlers with Jenners photoshoot. In episode four, she was one of the girls who argued with Kyle during the product selling challenge. In episode five, she and Kyle originally booked the Pink Tartan show in the Toronto go-sees, but were fired for being too inexperienced.

In episode six, the girls were playing with Laura's stuffed teddy bear, Alan, who was given to a deceased friend, Kevin. An ear was ripped off by accident, and Kyle tried to fish it out of the pool, which led to Laura having a meltdown.

In episode nine, when the girls went to Macau, Laura won the astrology challenge. She did a good job at the silkworm photoshoot, because she thought of "really good sex". She received the first call-out. In episode ten, she won the acting challenge with Nicholas Tse. All the other girls later joked that she seduced Nicholas, and was sleeping her way to the top. She won her third first call-out for the Macau tower photoshoot. She was in the bottom two with Annaliese in episode eleven, because her walk and Dream Come True photo was too sexy. She was saved because of her strong body of work.

In the finale, after the CoverGirl photoshoot, Laura suffered a panic attack and couldn't finish her commercial. She had to finish at the hotel. She eventually was defeated by Sophie.
