Lauren Edwards
Anyone who knows me knows that I love sports, food, the color green, traveling, Chicago-style hot dogs, the Golden Girls and all different kinds of cheeses. (Nothing tops a robust parmesan.)
But one of the things I love most is people. I love people! Short, tall, rich, poor, bald, Rapunzel. It doesn’t matter. Meeting new people and getting to know the storyline of their lives is one of my life’s greatest thrills. And the fact that I get to share their stories with FOX 2 viewers — whether triumphant or challenging — is an honor.
I could’ve told you the basics about me: graduated with journalism (and Spanish) degrees from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Boston University, did my dissertation on race and English football while studying in London and worked for New England Sports Network for many years. But that’s all blah, blah, blah.
Bottom line, I like people. And hopefully one day I can meet you.
