Laura Donovan

My name is Laura Donovan. I've lived in the same New Jersey suburb for 19 years, but I'm hell bent on exploring the rest of the world. I'm a Global Media major at Arcadia University, and a future student of the University of Westminster in London, UK, and Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. I hope to work in Public Relations, specifically in a branch that interacts positively with children. Secretly, though, I dream of hosting the Home Shopping Network. Professional Family Feud contestant is also a viable option. I spend most of my free time working for a fast-growing frozen yogurt franchise in my hometown – mostly refilling toppings but occasionally assisting the company at expos and conventions.
I attended St. John Vianney High School, where I participated in the video production and theater programs, and graduated with high honors. I’m one of four children, and I’m an identical twin. I am hopelessly in love with my cat, as well as tragically allergic to him. My favorite TV shows are Friends, Breaking Bad, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, and The Office. My favorite movie is Gremlins (I know). I don’t believe in “guilty pleasure” shows or movies. Pleasure is pleasure and they wouldn’t make shows like Teen Mom 3 if people like me didn’t watch them.
