In the summer of 2016 Lauren researched migration and the narratives of mobility in the context of the current European refugee crisis with the Wellesley College Anthropology department. Passionate about statistical modeling, she also attended the Quantitative Analysis Institute at Wellesley to learn methods of communicating the powerful trends shown by mathematical analysis. On campus, Lauren is a rower on the varsity crew team, recently winning the 2016 NCAA championship. After graduation, Lauren hopes to use her mathematical and economic background to analyze global health issues to better inform crisis responders.
