Lauren knew she was called to medicine from an early age and decided to pursue a degree in Health Sciences at Purdue University. During her undergraduate career, she worked as a scribe in a local emergency room and as a patient care technician on an orthopedic surgical unit. After gaining a variety of healthcare experience, she attended the University of Evansville Physician Assistant Program. Lauren graduated in May 2021 with her Master of Physician Assistant Science as a Pi Alpha Honor Society inductee and joined the practice in September 2021. She is excited to be serving the wonderful community of Indianapolis as an ophthalmic physician assistant.

Lauren was raised in Boilermaker Country (aka West Lafayette) alongside her two siblings and parents. In her free time, she loves participating in any outdoor activities, whether that be hiking, skiing, walking, or enjoying a bonfire at her family lakehouse in Northern Michigan. You can also find Lauren trying out new restaurants and coffee shops in Indy and cheering on Purdue sports teams.
