Before leading This Lauren worked as a reporter editor and writer in the North for several years living in Yellowknife and travelling Canada's territories and northern Alberta. While there she wrote about award-winning work about everything from prisons to pipelines. Today she is a contributing editor at Toronto Life magazine Canada's largest circulation city magazine where she recently wrote about her experiences with sexual assault in the memoir 15 Years of Silence. In response Lauren has heard from dozens of women around the world who've shared their own experiencessome for the first timeand was prominently featured in the documentary PTSD: Beyond Trauma which aired in January 2017 on David Suzuki's The Nature of Things.
