My friends and I in London, England
The last four years at the University of Pittsburgh have brought countless memories, amazing friendships, and widespread travels. Some of my favorite cities I’ve visited are Toronto, London, and Florence. However, my top travel destination is home, where I can spend time with my devoted family and two Australian Labradoodles, Kevin and Flynn. I still love crafting in my free time, particularly making jewelry and crocheting. I’m excited for what the future holds in the next few years. I hope to advance my career in engineering, doing meaningful work in a collaborative environment. But most importantly, I hope to keep creating.
About
Hi! My name is Lauren. I love creating.
My younger years were characterized by a string of hobbies. I was constantly finding some new and shiny craft that would consume after-school time: Legos, latch-hook rug making, puzzles, knitting, crocheting, baking, clay sculpting, and the list goes on.
As I grew older, I realized that I loved numbers. Working at a well-defined problem with set rules and a clear endpoint felt like a mental break from the never-ending creative spiral of my other endeavors. In junior year of high school, I gained a deep fascination with physics, sparked by a teacher that had a foundational effect on me. She taught through first-hand discovery backed by theory, not the other way around. Watching a ball drop and knowing exactly how long it would take before looking at the stopwatch felt like magic. With all things considered, I knew that engineering was the path for me. It seemed to be the perfect blend of my academic interests and creative tendencies.
