Laura Hunter-Thomas
Laura is an eighteen-year-old aspiring fashion journalist/blogger/Olympic athlete living in Portland, Oregon. She moved to Portland two years ago after the Olympic Gold-medal fencing coach suggested that with his coaching she might make the British Olympic team. Ever since then she has been balancing maintaining straight As via self-taught home studying with her full-time fencing training and her passion for writing, blogging, and fashion. After she concludes her studies in June 2010 she will be deferring her offer and academic scholarship to Penn State University for a year while she trains, competes, and tries to gain experience in her career field of journalism.
