During her three years in law school, she pursued a voice acting career, after studying acting theory and improv in her free time during her Bachelor's program.^[1] Since passing the bar, LaPorte primarily works as a criminal defense attorney, with voice acting sessions occupying her evenings.^[1][2]

Personal life
