Hi everyone I am so excited to be here. I come from a background of education and criminal justice. I have a beautiful daughter named Colby. I enjoy traveling to different places with my family and studying different cultures. In 2020 I was nominated as an Oklahoma’s Top 20 under 2 teacher. One fun fact about me is that in college I studied abroad in Greece for two weeks for a history class.
I do the work I do because I want to have an impact on the youth that are our next leaders. These students will be living and operating in a world that my children will be in. If I can assist with making students achieve success I want to do that. No matter what success looks like to them. I want to meet them where they are and help get them to the finish line.

In the blink of an eye, the little girl with snails in her pockets and dirt in her hair went from exploring the creeks behind her childhood home to earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources from Oklahoma State University.
Lauren’s adventure began when she moved across the country to gain conservation experience near Glacier National Park as a Big Sky Watershed Corps Member through AmeriCorps. In this role, she combined her lifelong passion for service with environmental conservation, conducting research for organizations such as the USDA, NRCS, Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, and NASA. Her work focused on wildflower biodiversity, pollinator habitat rehabilitation, Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) tracking, and agricultural resource improvements.
A defining moment in her career was developing the Lake County Conservation District’s outreach program, which delivered STEAM curriculum to 3,641 students and adults in 2.5 years. After returning home during the pandemic, Lauren pursued STEAM education, starting at Discovery Lab where she created curriculum and trained educators. Now in her second year at Tulsa School of Arts and Sciences (TSAS), she teaches Modern Science and Chemistry and serves as the Key Club sponsor, deeply committed to inspiring her students in the natural sciences and in service.
Outside of work, Lauren enjoys hiking, camping, photographing every flower and fungi she sees, collecting rocks and crystals, and practicing yoga. When indoors, she loves watching competition shows with her husband, Tyler, and making bets on the winners (loser cleans up dinner!) Their pup, Daisy, is always nearby to “help” with cleanup.

I used to live in Minnesota, and now I’m always hot. After leaving my home state, I moved to Missouri thinking I wanted to be a journalist. It only took me a few years of covering local school board meetings to realize that I couldn’t sit on the sidelines when it came to the challenges facing education. I moved to Tulsa and have fallen in love with the community of families, students, and educators I get to work alongside every day. High schoolers are my favorite people, and I absolutely love watching them grow into unique individuals and free thinkers ready to tackle the world.
Outside of school, I have been spending an exorbitant amount of time restoring a 1910 craftsman home with my fiancée. It gives me an opportunity to learn new things, shop for vintage items, and spend endless hours on Pinterest looking for inspiration. I’m often cooking soup, eating soup, and sharing soup with the people I love. I love to travel, drink coffee, and find excuses to cancel plans and stay home with my dogs. Talk to me about books and quilts!

I love learning and hope I never stop. I enjoy learning alongside my students. And I especially enjoy seeing students grow both as writers and in their appreciation of the power of writing for their lives.
I’m raising three kids with my best friend in Broken Arrow and I love living here. I’ve recently started doing yoga. One of my favorite hobbies is competitive kettlebell lifting. Kurt Vonnegut changed my life.
