Lauren loves to discover new things and learn from all the people she connects with through storytelling for STLMade. For past stories, she’s canoed down the Mississippi River, expanded her knowledge of pollinators thanks to local experts, petted baby calves, and hiked trails in Missouri and Illinois. However, most often you’ll find her at her desk, connecting all the dots to make these stories happen.
Over the years, her career has spanned medical publishing, academic marketing and communication, writing for The Riverfront Times, and video production.
Her favorite hobby is reading.
