Her Master’s thesis, “Disdaining the Republic: William Wetmore Story, Expatriate Aristocrat,” reflects her primary interest in ante-bellum United States history, with an emphasis on the 19th century expatriate artists’ community in Rome, Italy. She is currently a board member of the CT League of History Organizations. In a past life, Laurie was a lyric soprano, and remains an opera buff. She is currently Site Manager at Historic New England’s Roseland Cottage in Woodstock, Connecticut.
