Old Town Star Staff News
October 12th through October 23rd
Our ROCK STAR of the Week Is...
Name: Lauren Glover
Current Gig: Art Teacher
One word to describe yourself and why: Fun! I like having fun, and I like making things fun for others. I think it's one of the things that appeals to my students!
Most interesting job: Many moons ago, I was a barista. I worked at Starbucks, then at a small independent coffee shop. You meet a lot of different people and no two days were ever the same!
Favorite hobbies away from school: I like drawing- there's a sketch club in my town that meets once a week that's fantastic! My husband's been teaching me how to play drums lately, so it's been really fun learning and playing music with him! I also like exercising- riding bikes, doing yoga and we like watching movies together. Plus we hang out with friends. It's a good life
Favorite song: Well, it's really hard to pick just one....but I like "Do You Realize?" by The Flaming Lips
If I wasn't at Old Town, I'd...: I would be traveling the world. I'd also make jewelry and handmade soaps and things and sell them at art fairs. Plus teach art lessons
