Hi, I’m Lauren! I am a Copyeditor and Co-Editor-in-Chief for the Bengal’s Purr! I joined the staff as a Freshman and I’ve loved it ever since. This newspaper has been such a crucial part of our school’s history and I’m glad to have the chance to carry on that legacy. Writing is a passion of mine and I can’t wait to see where it will take me. Go Bengals!
