Hi! I’m Lauren. I’m an honors biology major, currently on track to graduate a year early from UMass Boston in spring of 2026. I plan to pursue a Masters Degree in forensic science post graduation. I’ve been inspired to pursue forensics after growing up on shows like Law & Order and Dateline. Organizations like the Innocence Project have further motivated me to be involved in a line of work that helps ensure the correct people are arrested, prosecuted, and jailed. I’m very excited to get out in the field some day.
I grew up in a small town about 40 minutes north of Denver, CO, before moving across the country for college. I’m a proud dog mom to an American yellow labrador named Holly. She lives very comfortably and turned seven this year. I love reading, with my favorite books being Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo. My love of reading led to a love of writing, specifically in the fantasy genre. I self published a children’s ebook called Where Unsneezed Sneezes Go in 2022. I also enjoy overpriced pretty drinks (Starbucks and boba), graphic design and making collages, and playing tennis.
