Q&A with Lauren

What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?

Finding Nemo, Finding Dory, Migration, Coco

What is your favorite children's book and why?

Clifford the Big Red Dog! All of the stories are playful and who doesn’t love a giant dog!!

What was your favorite childhood toy?

Beanie Babies, Skip-it, playing board games such as Guess Who and Clue

Who is your greatest inspiration and why?

Rather than being inspired by one specific person, I’ve been shaped by the collective influence of those around me. My family, friends, and community, each played a meaningful role in my growth, offering support, guidance, and examples of compassion in different ways. This “it takes a village” mindset continues to influence how I approach both life and my work in pediatrics.

What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?

Traveling, Spending time with Family, Cooking

What inspired you to work in pediatrics?

Children bring joy, curiosity, and resilience into the clinical setting. Their honesty and playfulness make each day meaningful, and I am passionate about creating an environment where children feel safe, heard, and empowered to participate in their own care.

What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?

I bring a calm, approachable presence that helps children feel comfortable and parents feel heard. I value clear communication and take the time to build trust, recognizing that every child and family is different. I strive to provide care that is thoughtful, supportive, and tailored to each child’s individual needs.
