Introduction
Hi there, I'm Lauren. I've just realized that I haven't written about myself since a friend in high school sat me down to make a myspace page that I subsequently used approximately three times. Now I'm writing about myself to help out my wonderful boyfriend test out a wikipedia assignment that was made for a CIS course he is TA-ing and co-designing. Snoozle repayment is in order.

Personal Life
I was born and raised in Welland, ON, famous for the Welland Canal. I lived in a house with my parents and younger sister. There my piano teacher father has a music studio, where I began my music education at age three. I have always had cats as pets and consequently am a tad biased toward beings of the feline persuasion when it comes to the cat/dog debate. However, my old house mate recently got a Dachshund rescue named Millie, and if she is ever cloned I will be the proud owner of MillieII.

Education and Academic Career
My academic and mascot history is as follows: Two mythical creatures out of four...not bad!
 * 1) Fitch Street Public Elementary School - Falcon
 * 2) Princess Elizabeth Public Elementary School (French Immersion Program) - Phoenix
 * 3) Welland Centennial Secondary School - Cougar
 * 4) University of Guelph - Gryphon

In December I finally graduated from the University of Guelph with an Honours BA in Studio Art and a minor in International Development.
