About me

I am a multi-published author (click to see my titles) who has had the opportunity to work with individuals, start-ups, businesses, non-profit organizations, artists and creative professionals across a number of industries over the course of my almost twenty year professional career at this point. I've amassed an eclectic body of knowledge across a number of disciplines and have been fortunate to create an extremely unique and complex body of work.

Lauren is a fantastically creative writer and ridiculously bold in her attempts to secure content for BTTV. She will Facebook anyone, Tweet at whomever and pour out stories left and right. Fame and fortune do not dissuade her from landing an interview. Her tenacity is unmatched. She is loyal and committed to the cause and is an effective critic of her own work. She is social savvy, timely and completely in tune with the "secret sauce" of creating great content. You will miss out if you do not hire her.

During her two summers as the UI Upward Bound Project's technology monitor, Lauren did an outstanding job being both professional and yet welcoming to our students as she supervised and assisted them in our computer lab. Whether answering homework questions, signing computers in and out or troubleshooting hardware or software issues, Lauren kept the lab running smoothly and worked effectively with the rest of our staff.

Lauren is a very talented musician, and very professional to work with. I featured her on my site, The Independent Music Scene, and she was a pleasure to communicate with. I would recommend Lauren in all aspects of her career.
