Experience

Lauren has spent her whole life writing -- since moving to London in 2022, she's worked to hone her journalistic career. She is the art & culture editor at The COLD Magazine, as well as lead editor at NOXX Magazine. Her work focuses on food and beverage, but she also covers art, culture, fashion, and music. She published her first poetry collection "Porcelain Cherries" in April 2024, and her second in May 2026 entitled, "In defense of messiness". Additionally, Lauren's poetry practice has led her to be interviewed on BBC Radio 1, LOOSE.FM, and a panel guest in Vienna, Austria. Traveling throughout Europe and the United States, she is dedicated to uncovering international subcultures and culinary communities. For Lauren, a perfect vacation will include discovering local cuisines. With a particular affinity for natural wines, good cheeses, and expertly crafted espresso, she thinks a pastry's lamination or restaurant's ambiance could make or break a trip.

Education

Lauren graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor's of Political Science and women, gender and sexuality studies, minoring in human rights. She went on to attain her Master's LLM in international human rights law in England, UK.
