The one key piece of advice Lauren would give women looking to pursue a career in the sports industry is to not be afraid to stand out and take risks. “I’ve taken a lot of creative risks in my work and have always pushed myself to make sure that my next work is better than my last,” says Lauren.

In addition to taking risks in her work, one risk Lauren took was moving from Minnesota to Alabama. And it has paid off well! Lauren feels connected with her coworkers, like she has with her sorority sisters.

Lauren says the biggest source of inspiration within her professional work is from the fellow women in sports that she is connected to. Just like her chapter Sisters, they are some of the most supportive women Lauren has ever met, and they are always willing to lend a helping hand to support women in sports.

Lauren shared that for women entering the job force, perseverance is a requirement. She encourages women to not be afraid to ask for help and guidance from others while pursuing new career roles, especially in the maledominated fields. Lauren hopes to continue her career within a minor league baseball team, and recognizes that she’s still learning a lot on the job.

Not only does Lauren enjoy spending time outdoors and cheering on her favorite sports teams, she loves to read and learn.

“Learning, after all, is an asset for a lifetime,” Lauren reflected, a skill that connects back to her time with the Epsilon Chi Chapter.
