Hunch over her desk

It surprised me that she slacked off very much at the office today because she is a typical hard worker and hunches over her desk all the time.

Is my sentence natural?
Thanks.

Thanks so much, CJ.

By the way, is 'she' necessary before 'slacked'?

Yes. I will change it.

Thank you for pointing out that I had not included "she". Emotion: smile
