Lauren grew up on a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. She headed south to Duke for undergrad where she studied Chemistry and Russian Literature and also fulfilled her lifelong dream of becoming a Cameron Crazy. Before starting medical school, she did molecular genetics research and worked part time as a CNA at an under-resourced nursing home where she developed a love of hearing patient narratives. She attended UNC for medical school (though she continues to bleed Duke blue) and focused much of her free time in service to underserved populations. Lauren will likely pursue a generalist medicine career given her interest in health equity, desire to work with vulnerable populations and inability to relinquish any organ system. Outside the hospital she enjoys all things nature, reading, running and traveling with her partner (soon to be wife) KellyNoel. She is incredibly excited to move to Nashville, eat all the hot chicken and start the next stage of her medical career at Vanderbilt.
