Personal Story
Laura grew up on Long Island and competed for Miller Place High School, a place where her immense joy for running blossomed. Laura was slowly introduced to the running world at the age of 14 when her 8th grade social studies teacher tried to convince her to run track & field. Joining as “just a sport to stay in shape” for soccer and basketball, Laura became a member of the track & field team and over time, became a 3 season, year round runner.
Laura attended SUNY Geneseo for undergrad, the absolute perfect place to continue to thrive as an athlete but also focus on her education, while most importantly having fun. The first few years at Geneseo were spent plagued by injury as Laura dove into a much more competitive program and learned what her body was able to handle. Year after year, she worked closely with her college coach to find the right balance and eventually got to her junior year where things started to click. Laura competed at the SUNYAC, regional, and national level for SUNY Geneseo and served as captain her senior year.
The next chapter for Laura was attending Stony Brook University’s DPT Program for grad school. After years of her own PT journey due to injury, and a ton of time spent in the trainer, she knew this was the right fit. Laura wanted to prevent injuries similar to her own from happening to other runners. She started at Stony Brook in 2019 and graduated in 2022, moving to NYC after where she started her first job at Custom – an absolute dream; and has been here ever since! She has continued to train and run competitively in the NYC running community, focusing on the half marathon and marathon distance while also serving as a run coach in the NYC community with Manhattan Track Club. Laura is beyond excited to see where the running world takes her next and the people she will meet along the way
