Lauren is a third year student in the Doctorate of Audiology program at the University of Pittsburgh. While working at her clinical practicums, she developed a passion for seeing families overcome challenges so that they may enjoy both the mundane and exciting moments of life together.  She has experienced much joy working with children from a variety of backgrounds and abilities within school settings, including both public mainstream schools and private schools equipped to serve children with disabilities across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.  

Lauren is a recipient of the Emeritus Award for Academic Excellence from the University of Pittsburgh’s Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders.  She also received the Student Research Forum Award from the American Academy of Audiology for her research presentation Competencies for pharmacists to safely assist patients with OTC hearing aids: A Delphi Study. As a professional Audiologist, Lauren is most excited to support families in achieving their goals for self-advocacy and work interprofessionally to connect families with the unique resources they require for success.
