Laura comes from a background in copywriting, blogger outreach, and theatre reviewing. Her MSE era spans four different teams, but now finds her settled comfortably in the Features team. There, she's the go-to honcho for budget travel, cheap theatre tickets, consumer rights and student MoneySaving.

She's also blogged about how to maximise your foodbank donations, make homemade Christmas decorations and turn your flat into a house plant jungle. The latter developed out of the many plant-cutting swaps she's hosted at MSE Towers over the years.
