Lauren Marnel Shores

Starting at TBL her freshman year, Lauren Marnel stayed with The Bottom Line throughout her UCSB experience before retiring as the 2019-2020 Editor-in-Chief. As the previous Campus Beat Reporter (2017) and Executive Content Editor (2018), Lauren Marnel is passionate about covering student activism and bringing coverage to underrepresented campus communities. Though she had to move on from the home she found in TBL, she’s excited to see how much all of her writers and editors grow as leaders on this campus after she’s graduated.
