Lauren received her Bachelor of Education in Communication Sciences and Disorders in 2010, and her Master of Education in Communication Sciences and Disorder in 2011 from Valdosta State University.
Lauren has worked in a variety of settings, which include school system, private practice, skilled nursing facility, home health, and acute care. All of these settings have added experience of working with many different populations, requiring various skill sets. Through all of these experiences, Lauren has found that her passion is in pediatrics. Lauren loves getting to know the children, along with their parents to better provide appropriate services. She is passionate about family education, which in turn, benefits children's overall progress throughout speech & language therapy.
Currently, Lauren lives in Hahira, GA with her husband and 2 little boys. Becoming a mother further improved her skill set by truly being able to understand a parent's concern and love for their children. She believes that parents know their child best, and is here to help navigate and advocate for their child.
