Senior🎓
Top SchoolLaura Mcdonald is a seasoned digital media producer with over a decade of experience crafting high-impact PR, content and communications campaigns across Australia, North America and the UK, with deep subject-matter expertise in water, climate and environmental policy. She has translated complex science and policy into multimedia stories—print, broadcast, podcasts and interactive digital products—that have driven coverage around major river basins and global water security debates. Comfortable working across government, NGOs, academia and private tech, Laura pairs hands-on content production (copy, video, UX and data-driven amplification) with strategy and measurable ROI tracking. Her work has supported high-profile global moments including the Water Pavilions at COP26 and COP27 and defended technical narratives for defence and betting-sector clients. A practiced remote collaborator, she frequently coordinates cross‑timezone teams to move campaigns from research through to delivery. Currently retraining in primary education, she brings a rare blend of policy literacy, storytelling craft and instructional instinct.
