Hi everyone! My name is Lauren and I’m an MS1 from Palm Harbor, Florida. I earned my bachelor’s degree in behavioral neuroscience from Florida State University (Go Noles!). After graduating in 2021, I moved to Atlanta, where I spent four years working as a Clinical Research Coordinator in Alzheimer’s disease research.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, going on walks with my dog, hiking, and spending time with my friends and fiancé. Since moving to Durham, I’ve loved exploring the Triangle and discovering all the great restaurants and activities the area has to offer.
Feel free to ask me about navigating the application process as a first-generation student, taking multiple gap years before medical school, maintaining a long-term relationship while in school, why I chose Duke, or anything else. Best of luck to you all!
