Like many, Lauren came to Stanford completely uncertain of what major she would pursue. Excited to explore the wide array of courses that Stanford has to offer, she quickly realized that her interests were widespread, and she could not settle on one department or even a major/minor combo without giving up other subjects. At the end of her freshman year, Lauren discovered STS and knew it was right for her. With background interests in Communications, Psychology, Business, Art and Product Design, she was able to explore all of these topics within her concentration, and has successfully (so far!) incorporated the results in real life. Interested in branding, marketing and public relations in the future, she has interned the past two summers in strategy with a hip SF digital advertising agency and in marketing with a Silicon Valley ecommerce fulfillment firm. Lauren is from San Diego and loves the ocean, skiing, cooking, yoga, wine and Netflix. She plays on the Sand Volleyball team here at Stanford and is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority.
"I can't wait to meet you all and answer any questions you might have - whether it be from the perspective of an STS peer advisor, a senior, or just a fellow Stanford student. Come hang out!" - Lauren
