Lauren loves baking (and eating!) desserts, exploring local hiking trails with her dog, and traveling to new countries.
Lauren completed her undergraduate studies at George Washington University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication with double minors in Human Services & Social Justice and Journalism. During her time there, she distinguished herself at the University Writing Center, where she assisted students from various academic backgrounds with their writing needs.
After completing a required Pedagogy & Praxis for Writers course, Lauren worked for 2.5 years helping students attending GW’s undergraduate, graduate, law, and medical schools with everything from admissions essays to resumes, dissertations, theses, and course papers. She received the highest scores from anonymous students surveyed who visited her at the writing center across all consultants during the spring of 2017. She also interned in early childhood education policy at the National Association of State Boards of Education and helped to work on legislative advocacy initiatives as an intern at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
Lauren's passion for healthcare first emerged during her time at WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease, where she specialized in fundraising and grant writing. This experience sparked her interest in nursing, prompting her to pursue Emory University's Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. Before beginning nursing school, Lauren also served as a Community Engagement Intern at Buddhi, a digital platform for individuals affected by cancer, and was the first Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion intern at the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.
Lauren’s extensive experience in writing and healthcare, coupled with her passion for helping others, solidifies her as an incredible resource for students of all learning styles. As a coach, her greatest strength is helping students craft compelling personal statements and stand-out applications. Now, as a registered nurse, she is excited to help prospective nursing students realize their dreams and navigate the complex admissions process.
