Laurie graduated with high distinction from Concordia University with a BFA in Art History. During her undergraduate studies, she worked as a French and English editor for CUJAH, Concordia’s Undergraduate Journal of Art History.

During the last year of her undergraduate studies, she gained experience in field archaeology at Université de Montréal’s field school in Greece.
