Meet Laura Thorne

— TheĀ EnvironmentalĀ Career &Ā Mindset Coach

I’m not just a career coach, I’m a former environmental scientist who’s been in the field, led teams, managed programs, and sat on both sides of the hiring table. I’ve helped over 200 professionals land jobs, pivot into new roles, and rebuild their confidence after burnout, layoffs, or just feeling stuck.

Before coaching, I built a career in surface water quality, habitat restoration, artificial reefs, GIS, and more. I served as an environmental manager, led the Tampa Bay Association of Environmental Professionals as president, and have co-hosted Environmental Professionals Radio for over four years. I know this field, the people in it, and how frustrating it is when you’re ready for more and nothing’s moving.

I created the ENVIROlocityā„¢ framework to help you stop spinning your wheels and start building a career that actually fits your life, values, and potential.

I’ve been through it too. I've been passed over for jobs I wanted, walked away from a role I loved because of toxic leadership, dealt with childhood cancer, flourished afterĀ divorce, and had to rebuild my own confidence more than once. That’s why I coach the way I do: real talk, no fluff, and full belief in your ability to make a shift.

Let’s get you unstuck and back in motion - on your terms.

You care about the environment. But what comes next?

Maybe you're applying to jobs and getting ghosted. Or maybe you're not even sure which roles you should be looking for.

Environmental careers are not always clearly mapped out, so it is easy to feel stuck trying to turn your interests, education, or experience into work that actually fits.

You may be trying to:

  • Translate your background into something employers understand.
  • Compete with candidates who already seem to have experience.
  • Find environmental job titles that actually match your goals.
  • Network without feeling awkward or lost.

You do not need more random applications.

You need a clearer strategy for where you fit, how to position yourself, and what to do next.

Know where to focus
Understand which roles, sectors, and job titles actually fit your goals.
Position your experience
Make your resume, LinkedIn, and applications clearer for environmental employers.
Build a real network
Learn how to connect with the right people in a way that feels specific and useful.
Move with confidence
Stop guessing and start taking next steps that make sense for your career path.
