About

My affinity for the weather goes back to when my own house was severely damaged due to a series of tropical systems that impacted South Florida when I was just six years old. After coming home from volunteering with my family at a hurricane shelter, my house was severely damaged. Seeing just how much these storms can have an impact on local communities inspired me greatly. My goal is to be able to help people by educating my community about the incredible forces of Mother Nature and how they can stay safe when disaster strikes.While I was in middle school, I began to job shadow my local news station’s meteorologists where I fell even further in love with broadcast meteorology.Currently, I am living my biggest dream as a broadcast meteorologist in sunny Southwest Florida for WINK News. You can watch me Monday through Wednesday 10am-12:30pm & weekends 6am-12pm and follow along on all major social media platforms at @WeatherWithLauren. I thrive in fast-paced, creative environments and thoroughly enjoy being a part of my community. (Storm) chasing after this dream is my passion and I cannot wait to share it with you and the world!
