Q&A with Lauren

Q: If you could choose anyone famous (real or fictional) to have dinner with who would they be and why?

Hands down, Michelle Obama - love how she owns her story and also her successes.

Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

For many years, I wanted to wholeheartedly be a pediatrician. It wasn't until I took organic chemistry that I started to second guess this.

Q: If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?

There is no doubt that it would be a Rom Comedy and I would love to be played by Maya Rudolph.
