Here we are with Lauren Castro. She is an entertainment journalist, writer and social media specialist for Texas Monthly. She knew that she wanted to be a writer before she got to college. She genuinely enjoys learning from others and what their passions may be, how they got to where they are, what makes them tick, etc. She loves storytelling and everything that goes into it: the vulnerability in sharing your innermost thoughts, pouring your heart into a project that can potentially help others, refining your own words and arranging a piece to better tell a story.
Once Lauren got to UT Austin, she was opened up to the world of journalism and how many facets there are to it. Reporting can come to you in so many ways (social media, video, podcasts, and traditionally, articles) and she just happened to land at a job that was in need of a social media editor. At Texas Monthly, she's been given the opportunity to work on my writing and report on topics she is interested in while also doing her main job which includes scheduling posts on all of our platforms, making sure each story is getting the promo it deserves, and keeping a finger on the pulse of the ever-changing media landscape. We will get to hear her favorite interviews and her upcoming professional goals as well as a few more sneak peaks for up and coming interviews.
