A self-taught pianist and composer, McLaughlin played the instrument as a kindergartner. Inspired by a performance of George Winston's she saw at just eight years old, she applied herself to learn his tunes by ear and eventually began writing her own pieces. She released her first album Beginnings in 2000. [6]

McLaughlin tours throughout the USA [7] and performs regularly in her home town area of Salt Lake City, Utah. [8]

Pianists she has performed with include Jennifer Thomas, [9] Tim Neumark [10] and Scott D. Davis. [11]
