Theater has always been in her blood and for the last 8 years Lauren has been performing in theater shows all over LA, many of which have won awards at the Ovation Awards and the Hollywood Fringe Festival.

In addition to live performances, Lauren has brought her comedy chops to the screen in new media projects such as 'Buffy Kills Edward' & 'Scared Houseless'. Being a lover of genre films, Lauren was very excited when she got to star in a CryptTV short that was released on Facebook & when she recently performed on green screen in an exciting mega-meta-tribute to 80s/90s action-comedy, 'The Dawn of Don Damage', currently in post-production.

Lauren trained at The American Musical & Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in Los Angeles, and worked under the guidance of "Tutor to the Stars" Rodney Cottier to receive a Masters degree in Classical Acting for Contemporary Theater at the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art (LAMDA).

Lauren has 20 years of dance training in various styles including ballet, jazz, & musical theater. She is also a trained singer (Mezzo-Soprano).

Aside from acting, Lauren enjoys attending comic conventions, traveling the world, and cuddling with her cats while planning for the days when she'll get to work with Taika Waititi!
