LauraLaura

Hi! My name is Laura, and I'm 21 years old, from Westminster, MA.
Becoming a tour guide for the mansion has been a dream of mine since it
was purchased in 2015. While I waited, hoping that eventually, I
might get the position, I hosted trivia and ran escape rooms. I'm also
an artist who's won multiple awards and previously got displayed at
Tufts University, Mount Wachusett Community College, and Anna Maria
College. I'm very excited to have been given this opportunity and
can't wait to meet you all!

Hope to see you all there and I can't wait to show you around!
