Personal Profile

	Lauren Draffin
Family	My family consists of 5 members: My dad, mom, brother, sister, and myself. We live in Germantown, TN, which is a suburb of Memphis. I am the oldest of three, as I am also adopted, along with my two other siblings.
Hobbies/Interests	I am currently on the Lady Tide Women’s Club Soccer Team, as well as an Intramural Soccer team. I also am aphiliated with the Phi Mu Sorority. When I have time, I love to work out
Music	I like a lot of different types of music ranging from country to some rap. John Mayer is one of my favorite artists.
Favorite Shopping	Being from Memphis, there are many privately owned boutiques that I love shopping at. Some of my favorite boutiques include Lola, Indigo, Isabella, Sachi, What’s Hot, and Miguela’s. More commonly known stores that I also love shopping at are The Limited, Express, J. Crew, and Banana Republic.
Work Experience	Currently I am employed at a designer boutique called Lola. It is located in Saddle Creek shopping center in Germantown. I began working there this summer and I plan to continue working there this Christmas and this summer.
Major	Fashion Retailing is my declared major at this point. There are two sections of this major: Design and Retailing. The retailing aspect is one that I am more familiar with from working in Retail this summer.
Favorite Vacations	My favorite vacation ever taken was my senior trip. Our class took a cruise to Mexico and stopped at Cozumel and Playa Del Carmen. We got to eat with the captain at the Captain’s dinner all six nights, as well as many other benefits we enjoyed.
Future Plans	In the future, I plan to own my own boutique like the one I work at now. I don’t want it to be nationally known, but more of a commonly known store. I want to travel to L.A. New York, and California to buy and attend fashion week.
