Lauren’s interest in architecture was stimulated by her love of creativity, art, design, and problem-solving. In high school, a summer program at The Catholic University of America introduced her to conceptual architectural design, and inspired her to go to The Pennsylvania State University to pursue a degree in architecture. Being in the Schreyer Honors College gave her access to small, seminar-style classes in subjects such as sustainability and anthropology, and also led her to deeper study of concepts and trends in religious architecture.
As a project architect, she is passionate about the potential power of architecture and design to positively impact people across all realms and disciplines. She has experience in religious, senior living, higher education, and residential buildings, and master planning.
