Lauren Parish

Web & Publications Manager

I pride myself on being a creative professional with diverse skills in print and web design. I have a drive for creativity and a reputation of being highly organized. I am an adventurous cook and consider myself a bit of a "foodie" and wine connoisseur. I guess you could say I'm good at pairing things...whether it be print and web or wine and cheese!
