Laura Chavez is an award winning producer and journalist. She began her broadcast career in Washington, DC as a reporter and producer for several local channels then moved into a role at a major network. 

During her time in news she covered landmark moments in history like the 2008 Inauguration of President Barack Obama, Hurricane Sandy, Shooting at the Navy Yard in Washington, DC, and many more. After 8 years, she transitioned out of news and into docu-series and branded content work for networks like Discovery, HGTV, FYI, A&E, Food Network and others. She has continued in both spaces focusing her work on storytelling for major nonprofits, like Childhelp and WeCOACH, while broadening her journalistic abilities with the "Matter of Fact with Soledad O'Brien's Listening Tour" and other lifestyle based docu-series. Most recently she joined Exit19 as a Managing Partner and their Executive Producer. She splits her time between Chicago and Washington, D.C.
