ABOUT
Lola (Laura) Côté was born and raised in Treaty 6 Territory (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada) by two Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame inductees. She was a multi-sport city champion, but she thrived playing indoor volleyball. She was named Saskatoon's MVP by The Star Pheonix in 2004 and was named Saskatchewan's Volleyball Athlete of the Year in 2005. She played for Team Saskatchewan and Team Canada Juniors for two years respectively before moving to Memphis, TN to further her athletic career and education.
Côté earned a degree in Marketing from the University of Memphis, where she played NCAA D1 volleyball for the Tigers on a full athletic scholarship and had one of the most successful careers in program history. She set multiple Tiger records and one NCAA Division 1 record, was honoured with an All-American Honourable Mention and retired her jersey as Memphis's All-Time Assists Leader. Côté realized her dream of playing volleyball professionally in Europe before retiring in 2010.
Upon returning to North America, Lola began putting her marketing degree to work. She began selling door-to-door and quickly graduated into an Account Executive for L'Oréal. Lola has been using her versatile skillsets to strengthen teams and grow businesses through customer-focused account management and revenue generation ever since.
In 2014 Lola graduated from The Vancouver Film School as a class representative and was issued a letter of recommendation from the head of the Acting department. Côté's devotion to performing evolved into a love for film production, talent recruitment, team building, and screenwriting. She has since formed a network of creative professionals to build triumphant teams for future projects and in 2021, Lolasea was founded.
