Hi everyone! My name is Lauryn, and I'm so excited to be joining the Britton Deerfield community to help with marketing and communications. I was born and raised in Adrian, MI and graduated from the Class of 2018. I went on to attend Western Michigan University, where I earned my degree in Marketing in 2022.After graduation, I moved to Nashville, where I discovered my passion for social media marketing while working with Rustler Hat Co. I had the opportunity to create custom cowboy hats, run our social platforms, plan content and product launches, host events, and connect with some incredible people. It was such an unforgettable experience! As much as I loved Nashville, I missed my friends, family, and boyfriend-so I made the move back home. We recently purchased our first home in the Irish Hills, and we've been having a blast with all the new projects that come with it! A little about me-I love being creative and spending time outdoors. Whether it's being on the lake, hunting, or golfing, I'm happiest outside. I'm truly excited to be a part of BD and help more people in our county and community see how special this school truly is. I'm sure you'll be seeing more of me in the coming months-please don't hesitate to stop and say hi! And if you ever have feedback or ideas, I'm always open and would love to hear them. Thank you so much!- Lauryn
