Lauren is a Southern California native who grew up in Northern California and returned to L.A. to study Art at U.S.C, where she also ran track. She continued her studies at Cal State L.A. to earn an M.B.A and was the M.V.P of offense on the University's Final Four appearing volleyball team. She continued her athletic career playing professional beach volleyball on the AVP where she was top 16 on tour and top 50 in the United States.  She represented Panama in the first round of London Olympic Qualifications and won a silver medal. Lauren got a DM on twitter from a volleyball acquaintance working for the USA Network show Royal Pains to audition for a role, one self-tape later she had her first Co-Star role. Once her playing career was over she focused her attention to acting:  joining SAG, working with coaches and building her resume and reel. She finds the process and approach to each part, and project like discovering buried treasure and learns something new every time.  Acting was not the reason Lauren came to L.A., but she is glad it found her.  


Lauren went to college at USC where she was first exposed to a theater class as an elective. It took a few years before she continued to build on that first experience to become a member of SAG after her professional beach volleyball career was over.
