As an outdoor enthusiast, Lauren considers land preservation and conservation to be quite important. Growing up surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the Blue Ridge Mountains taught her to appreciate where she calls home, and to protect it at all costs. She has always been fond of writing stories and poetry; the themes in much of her writing embrace and explore the thoughts and emotions she experiences when immersed in the outdoors.

Lauren attended UNC-Chapel Hill and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Reporting, as well as a minor in Spanish. During her time at UNC, she took an environmental journalism course that opened her eyes to the impactfulness of how nature can be represented, or misrepresented, in the media — which continues to influence the environmental choices she makes every day.

For Lauren, it truly is the little things that matter most. She strives to have a steadfast shoulder to lean on; be it a coworker, friend, or stranger, Lauren prides herself in listening to others and providing support and practical solutions. She is dedicated to promoting each and every success of her coworkers, and she’s always around the office to share a laugh and spread the love.
