Lauren volunteers with the local Area Agency on Aging, a non-profit organization with a mission to provide care management services that assist frail elders and their families.

The experience led to a life of volunteer service for the aging, a service she considers to be a privilege to provide.

She resides in central Virginia with her husband, son, and golden retrievers.  In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family and cheering for her son at his basketball games.
