Lauren Brensel

She/Her

Hi! I'm Lauren, and I'm an early career journalist. I have experience reporting for POLITICO, The South Florida Sun Sentinel and The Orlando Sentinel. I graduated from the University of Florida, where I reported for NPR-affiliate WUFT News, The Alligator and Atrium Magazine — where I served as a top editor. Through the news service Fresh Take Florida, I also have bylines in The Tampa Bay Times and The Miami Herald.
