Throughout high school she distinguished herself in leadership, academics, and the performing arts — serving as Social Media Manager for the Black Student Union, volunteering as the National Honor Society's Animal & Homeless Coordinator, and competing in Model UN and Mock Trial.
She is a member of the California Scholarship Federation, National Honor Society, and National Society of High School Scholars, and received the Pasadena Jaycees Young Leader Award.
What sets Lauren apart is her genuine love for others and her unwavering faith. She's competing to grow as a leader, earn scholarships, and represent young women making a real difference.

Votes ($5 each) go toward People's Choice — the top two totals win the Regional Crown and advance to Nationals in Las Vegas. Sponsorships cover Lauren's pageant entry, hotel, three competition outfits, program ads, and other event costs.
Every vote helps homeless animals.
The People's Choice fundraiser benefits Operation Blankets of Love, an award-winning 501(c)(3) and leader in animal rescue. OBOL provides food and critical supplies — at no cost — for more than 12,000 homeless animals every year across California, the U.S., and internationally. They were just in Simi Valley moving animals to safety from the fires.
Your donation helps Lauren earn the Regional Crown and helps OBOL keep showing up for animals during disasters.
