Lauren graduated from Louisiana State University in May 2022 with a degree in mass communication, focused on broadcast journalism. While at LSU, she worked at the campus station, Tiger TV, for two years.
During her time in school she also was a festival queen, traveling her home state of Louisiana every weekend and learning to love local communities and their stories, which contributed to her love of journalism.
After her family relocated from the New Orleans area to Colorado after she graduated college, she knew she wanted to stick around. She is excited to be working in Colorado Springs while connecting with the community both on air and online.
