Hi there, I'm Lauren! I am a proud Washingtonian (technically from Maryland if anyone really wants to know) and graduate of American University. My professional history has been diverse, but one thing has always remained the same: I love to tell stories. Whether it’s helping a small business develop their brand or interviewing a political figure for a news piece, I thrive on learning, listening and sharing. Writing is my true passion and where I began my career in high school as a reporter for local news outlets in the DMV. Since then I’ve worked in PR, marketing, strategic communications and editorial, developing my voice as a writer and story teller. So if you’ve enjoyed my story, I hope you’ll consider letting me share yours.

The Fun Stuff

Many of my professional experiences have been formed by my passions outside the workplace. First and foremost, I am a foodie and wine enthusiast. Exploring Washington's restaurants and bars is an endless hobby and I am lucky to have had the chance to work with many of these establishments in my career thus far. 

I am dedicated to raising awareness about my community’s small businesses and entrepreneurs, and in the long term, I hope to make a positive impact on the food and wine industry by encouraging diversity and open dialogue. When I am not eating, drinking or writing for fun, I am usually reading about eating and drinking…it’s a real obsession.

My other interests include petting all the animals, planning vacations and finding the best happy hour deals.
