About Me
Lauren’s background in biology, combined with her recent professional experiences in the therapeutic world, has inspired her to pursue a career in speech pathology. She is eager to apply her biological perspective to this field and has joined the AANCL to gain more experience working with aging populations, an area of particular interest to her. Lauren looks forward to collaborating with the interdisciplinary team at the lab and expanding her knowledge across the human lifespan. In her free time, Lauren enjoys running, crafting, and spending time with her dog, Moose, and cat, Stevie.
