Outside of work, Lauren loves traveling, finding zen (or at least trying) on the yoga mat, experimenting in the kitchen with a new recipe, and getting lost in a good book. Recently, she’s embraced her inner Pilates girl – because who doesn’t love a workout that feels equal parts elegant and exhausting? Most of all, she enjoys chasing after her two energetic toddler boys, taking them to all the best parks and activities in town!
