Lauren has always been fond of being on stage, starting her pageant journey at just 5 years old. Now, she is proudly representing her city as your Miss Loudoun County’s Teen 2025. Residing in Leesburg, she is a 17 year old senior at Paul VI Catholic High School. She likes to spend her time playing golf with her dad and hosting podcast episodes on her pageant podcast, The Girl and The Gown.
Her CSI, KOALA, stands for Kids Overcoming Adversity with Love and Action. She created this organization in September 2023, with the mission to raise money and awareness for pediatric cancer research. Recently, she has begun working on her next mission, The Koala Bear Project. This project will allow her to send stuffed koala bears to children undergoing cancer treatment to serve as a physical reminder of the support system that they have. Since the creation of her charity in 2023, she has raised over $20,000 for pediatric cancer research.
In her free time, you might find Lauren at the gym with her friends, traveling, trying new foods or even acting. From performing the Barbie monologue as her talent, to participating in her school’s “One Act” plays, she loves any chance she can get to be on stage. She loves to come up with and practice new accents and impressions, such as her “Crocodile Dundee” Australian accent, her “Prim and Proper” British accent, or even her “Southern Grandma” impression.
