Laura had a front-row seat to some of the biggest stories, around the country and across the Bay Area.
Some of the high-profile stories she covered include the Scott Peterson trial, California's wildfires, devastating earthquakes, and presidential elections.
She shared a picture on Facebook writing that it's "the right time to move on to the next chapter. When I think of all I've done over the past 30 plus years as a reporter, I quickly realized I've done it all...and there's nothing more to do. Onward!"
