Biography
Lauren has wanted to work with the pediatric population since she was a child, and she developed a passion for Neonatology as a new graduate nurse at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Nashville, TN. She has since worked in several NICUs throughout the country as both a staff and travel nurse, with experience as a charge and transport nurse. She continued her love for the tiniest NICU patients as she pursued her Doctor of Nursing Practice at the University of Utah while working in the NICU at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, UT. She is thrilled to be a part of the team at Fairfax Neonatal Associates as a Nurse Practitioner. In her free time, Lauren enjoys spending time with her husband and their two sweet dogs, reading a good book, visiting the beach, and painting.
