Lauren, a reporter and photographer for the Clarionette, signed up for journalism this year because she wanted to explore what it meant to be a journalist, and because she “thought it seemed interesting.” She is passionate about maintaining strong relationships with her friends and family, and one of her main motivators in life is the will to be successful. A favorite performer of hers is Post Malone– she “wishes she could be Post Malone for a day… He seems so carefree.” Lauren is excited to start researching and writing her own stories for the Clarionette.
