About Me: Laura Read

Hello! I’m Laura, a passionate freelancer and lifelong learner with a deep love for helping people reach their potential. My latest adventure started after a massive plot twist, following 15 years as an Ofsted-registered childminder, where I learned first-hand the importance of nurturing growth and confidence in others. More recently, I've transitioned into the digital world, studying digital marketing and full-stack development to broaden my skillset.

A few years ago, I taught myself video editing, a new hobby which opened up a whole new creative world for me. I launched my YouTube channel, where I share my love of mountain biking, and I created several online communities that bring MTB'ers together to face challenges and build confidence.

Now, I offer freelance services in video editing and social media management, and I'm diving deeper into full-stack development. My goal is to create productivity apps and teach others how to harness their own skills to improve their confidence, motivation, and ultimately, their lives. By helping others recognize their potential, I hope to inspire them to make a difference for themselves—and maybe for others, too!
