Lauren Good is a senior Cinema and Media Arts major at Biola University with an emphasis in production. She hangs out with her friends as much as she can and loves watching movies, drinking tea, reading books and playing with her adorable cat named Sage.

Ever since I was little, I loved writing and telling stories. I grew up in a small town outside of Dallas, Texas. I don’t consider myself a “country girl”, however I do say “y’all”, I did ride horses, and I do love sweet tea. Yet ever since I knew what a director was, I dreamed of being a filmmaker. After I graduated high school, Los Angeles was calling my name. 

I remember visiting all these different colleges in all these different states. I knew I wanted to study film in California, but I didn’t know which school was right for me. When I arrived on Biola’s campus, there was an energy that came over me that felt like home. Choosing Biola was the best decision I could have made for myself and my future career. I am blessed by the community I have here and the friendships I have made. The Torrey Honors College has been one of the best adventures I have had at Biola. I have gotten to dive deeper into subjects that I enjoy like philosophy, theology, poetry, and narrative storytelling. 

While attending Biola I aspired to explore all creative opportunities. As a Cinema and Media Arts major, I enjoy writing stories and communicating a vision. Words have so much power in creating conversations that benefit growth in a community. As someone who loves people, leading and following, I value others’ opinions and the dialogue that leads to understanding each other better. I wanted to write for the Chimes in order to exercise my skills and open the door to those important conversations.
