Lauren is a Registered Dietitian and a native of Gwinnett County, Georgia. She completed her Undergraduate Degree in Dietetics at the University of Georgia and went on to obtain her Master’s Degree in Nutrition at Samford University in Birmingham, Al. While at Samford, Lauren grew a passion to serve and provide children and their families with the knowledge, skills, and resources it takes to achieve better health and nutrition. After successful completion of her internship, she sought out additional specialized training in pediatric nutrition. She has earned the Strong4Life pediatric weight management certification and sits on the nutrition advisory board for a whole foods tube feeding formula. She has been a featured guest on TLC and plans to sit for her board certification in pediatric nutrition in the near future.
Lauren started her career at GI Care for Kids and Atlanta Pediatric Nutrition. Soon after, she was offered a position at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Lauren worked at Scottish Rite in a variety of settings including the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, TICU, AFLAC Cancer Center, GI floor, and Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit. She has also provided outpatient pediatric nutrition counseling in various general pediatric offices in the Gwinnett area. Lauren loves being able to help parents navigate their child’s medical conditions through nutrition and has increased interest in failure to thrive, eosinophilic esophagitis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, weight management, and feeding difficulties, among other diagnoses.
Outside of work, Lauren enjoys cooking, playing tennis, and spending time in the outdoors with her husband and Boykin Spaniel.
