With a degree in Psychology and a minor in Childhood Studies, she participated in numerous events, presented her research at conferences, embarked on a practicum experience. Through applied learning opportunities here, she was able to do her practicum at the Noyes Home for Children. Lauren plans to expand her education even further by obtaining a Master\u2019s in clinical- community counseling at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, PA. Lauren was featured by the MoWest Foundation and was declared MIAA Defensive Player of the year in 2024. &#8220;This opportunity has given me the chance to improve my growth in childhood development
