Lauren is also a gifted artist with talents in multiple modalities. Ask her about music, art, film, philosophy, and everything in between! You will always be wowed by her love of life and eagerness to draw connections between a wide range of disciplines. She is a fierce supporter of equity and interrogates histories and legacies of inequality in all of her classes.
