About Me
Lauren grew up on a small family farm, where her passion for the natural world first took root. Now a PhD candidate studying aquatic biogeochemistry at CU Boulder, her dissertation explores contaminant dynamics and ecosystem impacts in watersheds affected by wildfires encroaching on urban areas. She is also passionate about mentorship and community-engaged science.
Outside of research, she enjoys exploring Colorado's wilderness, gardening, biking, and tending her flock of colorful egg-laying chickens. As a long-time resident of Colorado, she is working to sustain the health of our state’s rivers and streams through collaborative, community-engaged science.
