Lauren (she/her) is originally from the Bay Area, having lived in San Jose and San Francisco, and has lived in Portland since 2019. She discovered CrossFit in 2015 when a member at her globo gym invited her to one of their workouts. She thought it would be just another HIIT day, but it turned out to be her introduction to her all-time favorite form of fitness. 2023 was Lauren's return to @crossfit after a four-year hiatus from the sport, which proved to be a transformative year in utilizing CrossFit's nutrition and training methodologies to optimize her health and fitness. Because of this, she pursued and earned her L1 and Nutrition 1 certificates intending to aid other community members in their journeys to becoming better versions of themselves.
Outside of CrossFit, Lauren has experience in various other activities like snowboarding, volleyball, track cycling, racquetball, and obstacle course racing. She is an XR developer by day (think augmented, mixed, and virtual reality experiences) and will jump at almost every opportunity to talk about her Siberian cat, Tacocat.
