Lauren grew up in Southeastern NC, which means she’ll always say “y’all”. She studied English and Religious Studies at UNC–Chapel Hill (Go Heels!) before committing the cardinal Tar Heel sin: earning her MA from Duke University. A career chameleon, she’s worked in higher ed, non-profits, custom merch, and the music industry before happily landing in the speaking industry with the Lyceum Agency in 2022. Now with Gotham Artists, Lauren rolls out the red carpet for clients, loves helping match events with their perfect speaker, and thrives on creative problem-solving (ideally with coffee in hand). Off the clock, you’ll find her with her nose in a book, spoiling her cats, or diving headfirst into her latest hobbies—currently piano and drums.
