Executive Staff

Lauren Cumbie

Managing editor

As managing editor, Lauren is the driving force behind most of the content you see on this site. If she didn’t write it, she’s had a hand in finding, curating, or directing the writing of it. Lauren has always loved to read and write and even graduated from Troy University with a Bachelors Degree in English, so this is a natural fit for her!

In addition to managing the Dogwood Journal, Lauren manages our team of Digital Media Specialists at Dogwood Media Solutions.

When she’s not working at Dogwood you’ll find her at home crafting or writing and spending plenty of quality time with her husband Chase and their two dogs.
