Laurie has worked as development
director for the Tarragon Theatre, a position she held from 2004 to
2007, and as a professional belly dancer in various cities in
Canada and Japan. Her work on The
Malaysia Hotel was inspired by a trip to Thailand in 1982. In 2000,
she revisited both Thailand and Cambodia. Laurie has spent the
past ten years living in Toronto and
Ottawa pursuing her career as a fundraiser, arts administrator and freelance
writer.
