Laura Dufresne-Morton, Board Member

Laura was born and raised in Southern Arizona where she studied Gender Theory and Marketing at the University of Arizona. She started her career as an AmeriCorps member working with underserved youth. Her passion for youth services led her to 6 years working for Girl Scouts in both Arizona and Colorado. In 2015, she left Girl Scouts to follow a pipe dream of owning a food truck with her husband, and they opened Mac’n that same year. They have since added a second food truck, Baked, that has become wildly popular. She is the proud mom of 2 incredibly spoiled rescue pups and a fuzzy kitty. She is excited to utilize her marketing and fundraising skills to help Bounce thrive.
