LAUREN'S STORY
A story not yet finished.
To everyone that knew her, Lauren was a bright light, a passionate advocate, a fierce competitor, and a kind and genuine friend with a wicked sense of humor. On May 11, 2023, Lauren earned her associate degree from Brookdale Community College as a member of the Early College Academy at Saint John Vianney High School. An hour later, on her way to meet her parents for a celebratory lunch, Lauren was in a tragic car accident that took her life one day before prom and just weeks before she was set to graduate from high school.
Lauren excelled in academics and sports and was active in her community. In high school, Lauren was a member of the National Honor Society, class president, class secretary, and a four-year Varsity soccer player, co-captain, and assistant coach. In addition, Lauren played club soccer at Players Development Academy, where her team won the ECNL National Championship and was a finalist at the International Champions Cup.
In her community, Lauren was an active member of Girl Scouts of America, serving on the CEO Advisory Board and as a Council Delegate for the Sandy Hook Region. Lauren also earned her Bronze and Silver Awards and was awarded her Gold Award posthumously. In addition, she was on U.S. Representative Frank Pallone Jr’s Youth Advisory Council, working on policy agendas for immigration and homelessness, and was an active volunteer for the Raine Foundation.
This fall, Lauren was getting ready to start a new chapter in life. She was accepted to Syracuse University and planned on studying political science and public policy at the renowned Maxwell School.
