Lauren is known as a "master grant writer" and is adept at clean, concise, compelling writing that helps her clients' work leap off the page. She delivers learning experiences and trainings that are interactive, results-oriented, meaningful, and fun, drawing on her background in experiential education and the arts.

As a reflection of her commitment to philanthropy and volunteerism, Lauren has served on the boards of several nonprofits and has volunteered extensively in the community, including eight years as a weekly volunteer at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. She was a certified foster parent before adopting a child from the foster care system.
Whether teaching yoga, journaling, meditating, crafting, traveling internationally, laughing with friends, or lacing up her sneakers to take a long walk, Lauren is committed to cultivating calm and finding inspiration. She earned a Masters in Teaching in Museum Education from the George Washington University (where she has served as a lecturer on fundraising) and a Bachelors with High Distinction from the University of Virginia.
