Mother Teresa once said, "kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless". Today, the opportunity to unite the global community is galvanizing the modern world through social media, and words truly do go a long way toward making a difference. In my experience, communication on multiple levels, both mediated and interpersonal, is the vehicle that will drive us down the path toward lasting social change and development.

Hi! My name is Lauren and I believe in the power of communication to create healthy communities, empowered people, and social change. I am enthusiastically committed to inspiring the kind of social change that begins in the soil of a community and grows into a healthy network of empowerment for all. I aspire to play a pivotal role in shaping this growth by encouraging communities of people to work together for positive lasting change.
