With a background in Psychology (BA, 2010), Philosophy (BA, 2014), and Sustainability Management (MES, 2017), Lauren researched the intersection of sustainable water solutions, gender equity, and mortality salience in her PhD (2023). As an interdisciplinary scholar, she presently investigates emotions that influence paid and unpaid planetary care work - personal lifestyle to advocacy to policy making to career to end-of-life choices.
