Lauren Lavelle

I'm a graduate of Rider University's journalism program and have a passion for honest, dedicated journalism. I was previously a newsroom intern at The Asbury Park Press in Neptune, N.J. and an editorial intern at Working Mother Magazine in New York, N.Y. I also served as executive editor for Rider's student newspaper The Rider News. Currently, I serve as an assistant editor at MJH Life Sciences in Iselin, N.J. where I am involved in all aspects of the editorial process for several leading pharmaceutical publications.


I have extensive experience with writing, editing, online content management and research. I am always eager to learn and adapt to different environments.


I am seeking journalism opportunities in the New York/ New Jersey areas and would love to connect with you!
