Lauren grew up near the windy city, otherwise known as the great city of Chicago. She is a recent graduate from the University of Indianapolis and received her degree in Visual Communication Design with a minor in Marketing. Her eye for design and her up-to-date knowledge of technology made her a perfect fit for joining the editorial production team at PMM in June 2006. Some of Lauren's hobbies when she finds the time include photography, painting, and reading. She loves working on the waterfront every day. And, every day she learns something new about the magazine and the lifestyles that follow it and looks forward to seeing what the east coast has in store for her.
