My name is Lauren Hernandez, and I am the President of Arizona State University Odyssey. I joined the Odyssey Online as a freshman at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at ASU.

Not only am I pursuing a journalism degree, I am also minoring in political science.

Going into my junior year, I have now been the President of ASU Odyssey for over a year and reporter for almost two years. I've covered topics ranging from music to politics and more! I have also covered the BottleRock Napa Valley Festival as media for two years now!

For Odyssey, I am responsible for posting on social media, hiring and recruiting new members, working with Mitchell, the EIC, keeping track of submissions and working with reporters, and much more!

Aside from Odyssey, I run my own sports updates account known as @SFGiantsGirls on Instagram. I am a Digital Editor for State Press, and I am a Campus Representative for Victoria Secret Pink. I also freelance report and am a concert photographer.

A little bit about me outside of school...

I am from San Francisco, California and I've also lived in Sacramento, California! A fun fact about me is I went to the high school the movie Lady Bird is about and that the director went to!

I am a music enthusiast, sports fanatic, journalism lover and arts appreciator! Some of my favorite bands and artists include David Bowie, Oasis, Greta Van Fleet, Sticky Fingers, Foster The People and much more!
