Lauren Himiak

Oh, hello… I didn’t see you there. You must be interested in learning what Lauren Himiak is all about, so let’s get right to it.

I am a writer/editor living in Manhattan. Currently, I work as About.com's Guide to National & State Parks. I also have experience writing for a talk radio program, a popular metropolitan newspaper, and numerous magazines.

During the summer of 2009, I had the privilege of volunteering in Uganda at an AIDS orphanage. Teaching and giving love and support to 120 children was truly a life-changing experience, and one I will carry with me always. My focus was teaching children English as well as increasing their health and fitness levels through daily exercise and games. I was featured on lemondrop.com to share how I went from health editing to working in Africa.
