Hello and welcome! I’m 🦋✨Mrs. Lauren Martorell (pronounced Mart-or-ell) - English teacher by day, dog mom by night. I am from New York but have lived and taught in Greenville since 2015! My goal as an educator is to help students discover great stories and realize they have something worth saying. When I’m not teaching or reading my next book📖, you’ll probably find me checking out new food spots, rearranging and redecorating my space (again), or spending time with family and friends💖. In my free time, I enjoy binge-watching shows, snowboarding, and playing with my two fur babies, Rupert and Sebastian🐾. I’m a big fan of animals, vinyl records, 🎃Halloween, coffee, the Buffalo Bills, seafood, fashion, and all things ♍Virgo.
