A health scientist, Lauren uses epidemiological and biostatistical principles to evaluate and interpret the health effects associated with occupational, environmental, and behavioral exposures, such as vinyl chloride, groundwater contaminants, and substance use. She uses rigorous statistical approaches to uncover patterns, identify disparities, and develop evidence-based strategies to promote health equity and environmental justice. She is skilled in effectively communicating complex health risks to clients and communities.
Lauren has experience with cancer epidemiology, exposure assessment, causal inference methods, and systematic review. Recently, she supported local health departments in completing data-driven public health assessments of chronic and infectious conditions, health behaviors, and social determinants of health.
When she isn’t busy with epidemiological analyses, Lauren enjoys reading novels, vegan baking, and rooting for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
