Lauren (she/they)

Telling the stories that need to be told.

I am a magazine journalist based in East Tennessee. After creating Tectonic in 2021 and falling in love with the craft, I decided to get seriously into journalism at just 16 years old — I’ve never looked back since.

I currently write for Reclamation Magazine, GEN-ZiNE, and my school’s newspaper (The Well-Trained Tribune). I have also been published in Teen Ink and The Tennessee Holler.

In my free time, you can find me cuddling with my dogs, journaling, building/designing websites, and watching whatever catches my fancy. Oh, and also scrolling Twitter.
