Meet Lauren
Hi all! My name is Lauren Chase and I am from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I’m finishing up my final year at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. Go Hawks! I have a double major in journalism and anthropology and a minor in Spanish. This summer, I am the media intern for the Montana Stockgrowers Association.

My aim is to get your message to a broader, more multimedia-based audience. Social media has taken over all forms of communication and therefore, we must utilize these tools to reach the world!
