She voiced the main character Yui Takamura in Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse and was cast as Yui Goido, the host of the goddess Mars, in The World God Only Knows: Goddesses Arc. That year also saw her take on the significant lead role of Mirai Kuriyama in Beyond the Boundary, which became one of her most recognized performances. She also provided voices for multiple characters in Chaika - The Coffin Princess, including Frederica and Dominica Skoda.
Over the following years, LaPorte continued to build an extensive filmography. In 2016, she voiced Tsunomi Kabutohara in Wizard Barristers: Benmashi Cecil. The following year, she took on the main role of Nikka Edvardine Katajainen in Brave Witches.

Her other credits include roles in series such as Kemono Friends, Parasyte, Black Bullet, and the animated pilot for Hazbin Hotel as Cherri Bomb.
Throughout her career, LaPorte has frequently collaborated with other notable figures in the English dubbing industry. She worked under the direction of Chris Ayres on multiple projects, including The World God Only Knows: Goddesses Arc, and the two were in a personal relationship for nine years until his passing in 2021.
