Lauren Contreras joined Voice of OC as a summer intern in 2026 from Chapman University, where she had already reported for Voice of OC on school board issues and nonprofit animal organizations as part of her coursework.
Contreras has worked on student publications since joining her school’s yearbook program in seventh grade. She hopes to use her reporting to give community members a voice and to push for transparency in local government, especially at city councils.
