For the last 12 years, Lauren has had the great honor of working as a high school English teacher at a unique alternative school on Long Island. In the background though, she was always writing and has recently begun freelancing for sites that focus on personal and community wellness, fitness, parenting, and motherhood.

She is also a runner, avid beach-goer, and mother two to wild and amazing children, Leila (5) and Will (4). She is passionate about racial justice, better care for moms and babies, women- led and owned businesses, LGBTQ+rights, and the fostering of a more just, compassionate and sustainable world.
