Lauren White joined The Coffee Shops™ crew in 2019 as a reporter and is now the editor in chief. She earned her bachelor degree in marketing and her master's in arts and teaching from the University of Portland. After some time in the classroom, she made her blind leap to roofing. With a love of learning and education, Lauren has enjoyed jumping into this new arena and bringing the stories of the roofing industry to life, supporting the next generation of trades workers through SkillsUSA and fostering connection through leadership roles with National Women in Roofing. Outside of work, Lauren enjoys experimenting in the kitchen, adventuring with her puppy Kira and spending time outside.
