About Me
Lauren Gordon, a Philadelphia native, graduated from Temple University's School of Communications and Theater in 2010 with a focus in Magazine Journalism.
Immediately after graduation, Lauren became the Assistant Editor of Philadelphia RowHome Magazine and since has done a multitude of freelance work for local publications.
Though writing is her first passion, food is a close second. In her time spent as an active journalist, she has done a lot of coverage on the local foodie culture, as well as starting her own blog THICKthin- an online weight loss journal complete with her own self-produced cooking show, HomeMade Healthy.
