An avid cat lover, Laurie dreams of owning a cat rescue one day. She forges bonds with every stray cat she encounters and tirelessly advocates for their adoption, epitomizing her favorite Taylor Swift quote, “I want to be defined by the things that I love. Not the things I hate, not the things I’m afraid of, not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night. I just think you are what you love.”
