Uplevelling from her humble beginnings in school and college one-act plays, Lauren made her stage debut in Her Story | His Story in Penang, March 1-2 2024. 

And in pushing the envelope further and revelling in the discomfort of venturing outside her comfort zone, she dipped her toes in a Bahasa Melayu production, "Aci Patmabi" in October 2024, which was part of Pesta Teater USM.

Advocating is truly embedded in her DNA as she uses her voice under different guises. A lawyer by profession, Lauren’s teacher alter-ego MyLiteracyAdvocate helps children with learning challenges learn how to read. 

A mother of 2 boys (and an ardent fan of John Mayer’s artistry), Lauren enjoys yoga, and spending time with people over a steaming cup of teh tarik kurang manis.

Lauren believes in the inherent goodness of people and views the stage as another channel of impactful advocacy and creative self-expression.
