Lauren was born in Richmond, Virginia and grew up in Tennessee. At the prompting of her high school art teacher, she became passionate about Medical Illustration. Landing in Dallas, Texas, Lauren earned a BA in Biology and Studio Art at Southern Methodist University with the intent to pursue a graduate degree within the field of Biomedical Visualization.
Spending much of her undergraduate time educating students with attention and learning deficits, Lauren is interested in how visual aid in education can affect working memory and engagement, particularly when it comes to the sciences. Courses in virtual reality, modeling, and animation within the BVIS program are of great interest to her and the positive influence these mediums have on science education.
Upon graduating from the BVIS program, Lauren would like to develop new engaging learning tools to help educate others, from students to patients.
