Get to Know Me Further
Hi, I’m Lauren! I am from Ontario, Canada and spent my childhood ping-ponging between Ontario and Indiana. I recently completed a Master of Public Health in Environmental Health at Indiana University Bloomington, where I quickly grew to love working with communities to address their public and environmental health needs, and most especially regarding their water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. When I’m not working, you can find me taking dance classes, reading, gardening, and competing with my partner to see who can get the highest Duolingo score.
