Born and raised in a small town in central Illinois, Lauren joins the PRA Mid-South team with a passion for bringing people together. As a graduate from Illinois State University with a degree in Public Relations, Lauren has had the opportunity to expand her knowledge and intern with a multitude of different companies throughout her college career. She held positions as a Publicist Intern at Shore Fire Media, Event Planning Intern at Palace Events, and Travel Blog Writer at Southern Bride Magazine. This led her to a country club managerial role where she led a team of employees to help create ever-lasting experiences for members and guests. In her spare time Lauren enjoys traveling, exploring nature, trying new restaurants and coffee shops, going to concerts, and doing anything spontaneous! Throughout her many different professional roles and hobbies in her personal life, one thing has remained constant — her passion for creating and implementing unique ideas to give people an event they will remember forever. Lauren is excited to join the PRA team and call Nashville home!
