During middle school, Lauren volunteered to assist an exceptional education teacher, and quickly discovered her desire to serve and help children with special needs. She currently serves on the South Carolina BABYNET board to ensure BABYNET is properly funded for the children of South Carolina. Lauren is married to her husband, Ian, and they have four children.
