While Lauren Beltz had a standard middle-class American upbringing, her adult life has followed anything but a typical trajectory. After nearly a decade chasing her need for speed working in professional motorsports, she shifted gears and went full throttle working with jet planes in corporate aviation. Now, she’s traded in her mechanical engineering degree for story engineering. Her main characters share her sense of humor, STEM background, and heart.
An educator at heart, she focuses her non-fiction creative writing on personal finance topics at The Budget Brigade.
