Lauren received her BA in International Development from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. She also received her Masters in Public Administration from Clark University. 

Lauren comes to The Best U as the Passion Project Specialist. Lauren has always loved helping people figure out the things they are most excited about and that give them the most energy. Currently, she is the Director of Summer Programs for a high performing public charter school. In that role, she works with students to explore their strengths, interests and to plan impactful and enriching summer program experiences. As the Passion Project Specialist, Lauren works with students to do the same – to envision and execute rewarding experiences that will help them discover more about themselves and what they are hoping for in college. Lauren loves allowing students to lead in this process and is there to support and augment their learning along the way. Aside from enjoying her work, Lauren loves spending time with friends and with her husband and two young daughters.
