LAUREN HULL

35, SENIOR CYBERSECURITY ARCHITECT

Ambition is the name of the game for Lauren Hull. She’s an ethical computer hacker by trade, meaning she’s certified to use the processes of malicious hackers to test a company’s cybersecurity. Her job is certainly serious stuff, but it has nothing to do with the fun she has off the clock. “I do pole dancing and always some kind of sport,” she says of her workout routines. Along with her two American Bullies, the 35-year-old has her hands full with three kids, ages 17, 13, and 8. Lauren likes to indulge in cocktails like gin shrubs, which she says she’d serve at dinner as a light and refreshing accent to any meal. Besides a good cocktail, she finds that microdosing edibles has been really beneficial and positively impactful on her life. Sometimes what drink your date orders is the first sign of compatibility, but for Lauren, it’s not about what kind, but rather how much. “If (my date) is drinking excessively, that’s cringey for sure,” she says.

WHAT COPPER COCKTAIL CATCHES YOUR EYE?

Anything with gin. WORST PICKUP LINE YOU’VE GOTTEN OR EVER USED Not a line per se but I think the worst is when people hit on you shamelessly on social media. It’s super impersonal and not a great first impression. FIRST LEGAL DRINK A cosmopolitan. Growing up in the 90’s meant Carrie Bradshaw was everything, so a cosmo was the obvious choice. GO-TO PREGAME SONG I don’t have one song but I do have a solid pregame playlist that has everyone on it from New Found Glory to Justin Bieber. Depends on what I am pregaming for! PERFECT DATE NIGHT Laughing and talking until we close down the restaurant or bar.

CELEBRITY HALL PASS Mark Wahlberg or Justin Bieber. WHAT WOULD YOUR MOST RECENT EX SAY IS YOUR BEST QUALITY? I am extremely driven, thoughtful and always honest (sometimes brutally).
