Experience

After writing for her university's newspaper and women's magazine, Lauren fell in love with lifestyle journalism. She started her career as a copy editor and writer for Alabama Weddings Magazine before joining Dotdash Meredith as a digital editorial fellow. It was this experience that really honed her skills as a writer and editor and helped her land her first full-time job at EatingWell as an assistant digital editor.

Following a nearly two-year stint at Dotdash Meredith, Lauren joined the team at VERANDA to help grow the brand's digital presence. She tackled everything from breaking news to SEO content. As a freelance writer and editor, Lauren contributes to brands such as Well + Good, Food & Wine, EatingWell, VERANDA, Tasting Table, and House & Garden (U.K.), among others.
