Pronouns: she/her
Lauren is a Vice President for Arc Initiatives, where she develops paid and earned media strategies for environmental and conservation campaigns. With a decade of experience supporting public lands conservation and federal advocacy coalitions, Lauren specializes in coalition management and engaging nontraditional messengers to broaden campaign reach and impact.
During the public lands sell-off fight in 2025, Lauren worked with sportsmen and women, taxpayers, and veteran advocates to elevate the threat of selling off public lands in America’s Arctic to influence members of Congress through earned media, influencer campaigns, and paid media, urging them to stop the sell-off.
Before joining Arc, Lauren served on the press team in the Office of the Secretary at the Department of the Interior, where she drafted press releases, pitched stories to print and TV outlets, and managed media at the 2014 White House Tribal Nations Conference. She also worked as a Great Places in America Communications Fellow at the American Planning Association, where she authored website features, blog posts, and press releases for the organization’s flagship public relations campaign.
Lauren holds a bachelor’s degree in Political Communication with a minor in Sustainability and a master’s degree in Media and Strategic Communication, both from The George Washington University. She enjoys spending time outdoors hiking, searching for shells and sea glass at the beach, and baking whenever she gets the chance.
