Available to hire
Hi, I’m Lauren Whitmore, a media and communications professional. I’m a passionate writer who values proofreading and editing to ensure accuracy and clarity across manuscripts, articles, and web copy. My work experience—from assistant editor duties to content creation and social media management—has sharpened my ability to edit for precision and publish polished work on tight editorial timelines.
Based in Galway, Ireland, I bring a dual US-Irish background and a BA in Humanities and Communications from California State University, Monterey Bay, along with an MA in Global Media and Communications from the University of Galway (Autumn 2025). I’m skilled at managing publication workflows, SEO optimization, and building engaging content that supports editorial goals and audience growth.
