Lauren always had an interest in STEM. However, when she was younger she thought she wanted to work in medicine. When it came down to the gruesome aspects of medicine, Lauren realized that she did not have the stomach for it. Lauren then interned at her father's law firm where she realized that law was also not a perfect match.
"One of my favorite things about Holton is that they encouraged you to pursue what you are passionate about," Lauren expressed. Soon enough Lauren's passion shined through as she pursued her undergraduate degree at Hamilton College with a focus on psychology and new media. After graduating Hamilton, Lauren held many jobs involving video production, marketing, editing, and writing; all of these skills lead her to her current career at tech company, iStrategyLabs.
Lauren encouraged the students to follow their own passions because the perfect job might not exist now, but as the world continues to change, opportunities may arise where your dream job will finally be realized.
