EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SARNIA-LAMBTON SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS' CENTRE

"Laurel was the guest speaker at our organization's capstone fundraising event, INSPIRE. When we booked her, we knew we'd be in for a treat because on all of her platforms you feel the authenticity and humor without even looking for it. She is also a FORCE in our community shining a light on mental health, feminism & the 2SLGBTQ community. Laurel took VERY minimal direction and blew us away. She delivered a heartwarming and hilarious message to our guests that had people laughing, crying and inspired."

If you're looking for a keynote or panelist for your next conference, retreat or event - I'd love to share my story with your community!

I would be honoured to craft a presentation tailored specifically to your event's theme: I can speak confidently on a number of topics including entrepreneurship, first-generation ranching, content creation + social media influencing, being a woman in ag, being a woman in business, mental health advocacy, and more.
