Experience

Originally from Ohio, Lauren has lived in Bologna, Italy, for nearly five years. She is a food systems scholar with a penchant for food history. She has been a contributing writer for Her Campus, La Gazzetta Italiana, and Local Matters. Lauren has worked and studied food education and earned her bachelor's degree from the Ohio State University. After a few years of teaching food education for a non-profit, a desire to see more of the world brought her to Italy, where she landed in 2019 to pursue her master's degree. She graduated from the master's program promoted by the European Institution of Innovation and Technology for Food (EIT) in September 2022.
