Hi, I’m Lauren!

I won't bore you too much about me... but here's a bit about where I've been and how I got to this place. 

I've always been fascinated by two things - business and writing. Even from a very young age when I watched my grandfather type away at his massive computer while doing people's taxes in his home office in the late 80s and early 90s. I'd sit nearby on my typewriter (and later word processor), pretending to be Murphy Brown and document his business achievements, pretending to be his assistant sending out invoices and bank statements, though I'm not sure I actually knew what any of those were at the time. 

As it turns out, I found his line of work to be substantially less interesting when I found myself working at my own computer in the finance world, typing away at a [much less] big computer. I realized I'd drawn a straight line from point A to point B. I loved to work, I loved the business world, I loved working with numbers, understanding how they worked (at least in theory), and so naturally this would be a great fit. I'd worked all through high school and college, so I should have LOVED this job with my own office and a window and great benefits.
