Laura joined Consortium in July 2020 as the Stakeholder Engagement Officer for the National LGBT Partnership. She will work across England, bringing together services to increase the visibility of LGBT+ health inequalities and developing resources to increase awareness.

Laura has vast experience of working in the charity sector and has previously worked with LGBT+ youth, mental health, loneliness and sexual violence projects. She also holds an MA in Gender Studies from the University of Sussex. Laura is passionate about championing equality for LGBT+ people, in particular those with lesser-recognised identities.

Laura lives in Brighton with her partner and can often be found laughing at stand-up comedy or crying at musical theatre. She also enjoys poetry (both reading and writing) and any film written by, directed by, or starring Greta Gerwig. When taking a break from work, Laura is likely moseying around European cities, looking at art and struggling to find gluten-free food.
