Born and raised in New Jersey, Lauren began her journey in performing playing softball as a child, after her parents realized she liked singing her team’s cheers a whole lot more than stepping up to bat. After consuming a mixture of Beauty and the Beast, Lady Gaga, Julie Andrews and Fleetwood Mac, she finally decided to act in her first show.
Lauren is now a proud AEA member and recent musical theatre graduate of Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama. She is passionate about cultivating joy, inspiration, and change by utilizing her artistry on the stage and screen. She is also driven to elevate the stories of women and the Latino community.
Outside of performing, Lauren loves a good empanada more than most things on this Earth. You can find on the yoga mat, making playlists for her loved ones and exploring Brooklyn and beyond.
