Lauren has always had a love for entertainment. It all began at the tender young age of 6 when she starred as the pivotal role of Sheep #3 in her church's nativity play. Lauren went on to study Shakespeare and Performance at Mary Baldwin College where she earned her MFA in Acting in 2009 and later, furthered her theatrical studies at the University of Virginia where she earned her MFA in Technical Direction in 2014. It was during her time at UVA that Lauren was provided with a unique apprenticeship opportunity through a collaboration between the school and the Stan Winston School for Character Arts. She spent six weeks in Los Angeles, CA learning from some of the best miniature makers and creature fabricators in the business. After the apprenticeship was over, she knew exactly where her path was leading. She moved to Los Angeles permanently upon graduation.

Since arriving in Los Angeles, Lauren's career has shifted from a full time miniature fabricator to a union Property Master and she couldn't be happier! She is able to utilize all of her fabrication skills to carve out a unique place  for herself among Property Masters. Her knowledge of local shops and construction allows Lauren to bring together new teams of professionals across many fields. In the summer of 2020, she became the Property Master for a new network called VENN TV, where she covers six of their live broadcast shows: The Download, Venn Arcade Live, The Grey Area, Looking for Gains, The Guest House, and Dare Package​. Lauren is also one of two Property Masters on the production team for Little Dot Studios and all their YouTube channel clients.

While based in Los Angeles, CA, Lauren is keen to travel for work and would love the opportunity to do so. She enjoys working with new teams and has a great attitude toward challenging projects.
