Lauren grew up in Orange County, California and received her Bachelors in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences from the University of Arizona.  She continued at the University of Arizona to receive her Masters in Speech-Language Pathology.  She also received a certificate in Multicultural and Bilingual Service Delivery.  She was inspired to become a Speech Language Pathologist after watching her niece receive services for a speech sound disorder.  Lauren was amazed at how speech therapy improved her niece’s quality of life.  Lauren has a strong passion for working with children and their families.  She loves to celebrate all big and small victories that her clients make.  Lauren enjoys coaching families so they can best support their child’s communication skills outside the therapy room.  It makes her feel so fulfilled to watch children and families reach their goals!

In her free time, Lauren enjoys going to the beach, watching sunsets, hiking, doing yoga, and baking cakes (especially funfetti ones).
