Hi, I’m Lauren!

Throughout university I have gained knowledge and experience in social media, a newsroom for NowUC, communication and creating stories in multiple formats.
This degree has allowed me to explore my passions, broaden my knowledge and transform me into a well-rounded professional ready for the communication industry.
