Lauren McMahon

Lauren landed in New Zealand mid March 2007 after a little hop-skip-jump from Melbourne, Australia, to take up a media internship with GVN. After falling in love with the magical country she decided to stay permanently and now calls NZ home.

Lauren's background is in environmental communications and she is happiest when she is climbing mountains, chasing rainbows, and seeing people live a fulfilling life with a big smile on their face. Stick your head in the GVN office and you will most likely see Lauren either sliding across the room on her swivel chair, peeling a piece of exotic fruit at her desk, or debating the comparative linguistics of footwear with her Kiwi, American, and South African buddies. This Aussie firmly believes a comfortable, rubber, foot apparatus is called a thong – not a jandle, not a flip-flip, not a slophie!

Lauren has just bagged Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa as part of GVN’s Fundraising Trek and is busy planning her next adventure.
