She was not active in sports throughout college, but did find her calling later in life when she started practicing Muay Thai, which she did until her move to NYC. Lauren likes to stay active, she cycles the 15 mile round trip to work every day and spends the rest of her active time with her family & friends enjoying the city and her proximity to Central Park.
