Lauren came to Chicago after two years as a reporter/fill-in anchor at WTIC-TV in Hartford, Connecticut.
She was previously a video journalist/reporter at WPTZ/WNNE-TV in Burlington, Vermont, for three years.

In her free time, Lauren loves to play tennis, ski and dog sit. She also picked up a fondness for running in recent years and proudly completed her first (and probably only) marathon in 2017. At least once a month, Lauren and her husband pick a neighborhood to immerse herself in to learn about each area's culture and history. She'd love for you to tweet her your restaurant recommendations!
