Laura Pellicer
Digital Reporter/ Co-Host, "CREEP" PodcastLaura Pellicer is a digital reporter with ¼ª²ÊÍøÍøվ’s small but intrepid digital news team. She is also the co-host and co-creator of CREEP, an award-winning podcast about creatures invading our space and changing the world around us.
Before that, she was a producer with The State of Things, a show that explores North Carolina through conversation. Her coverage at ¼ª²ÊÍøÍøÕ¾ of the controversial Silent Sam Confederate monument garnered a Gracie Award from the Alliance for Women in Media.
Laura was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, a city she considers arrestingly beautiful, if not a little dysfunctional. She worked as a researcher for CBC Montreal and contributed to their programming as an investigative journalist, social media reporter, and special projects planner.
Laura loves tracing innovations in science and technology, and pursuing stories about Indigenous communities and environmental justice. She is enamored with her home in North Carolina — notably the lush forests, and the waves where she moonlights as a mediocre surfer.
