About Laura
Laura Beck was born in Oakland, grew up in Alameda, went to college in New York City, and returned to San Francisco. All that before age 11! Joke! It was 13! Joke again! Laura spends most of her time working in non-profit. The rest of her time is spent resenting you for making more money than she does even though you do nothing but eat bon-bons and get pedicures all day. She hopes to be just like you one day.
She is a founding editor of Vegansaurus.com, a columnist for VegNews Magazine, and can be found contributing colorful commentary and real talk to many online newspapers, journals, and blogs, including Uptown Almanac and The Huffington Post.
Laura is looking for wealthy people to subsidize her trips around the world in exchange for witty reparteé and high fives. She currently lives in San Francisco with her cartoonist boyfriend and their pit bull, Hazel. Hazel is ridiculously adorable and should pose for calendars.
