My name is Lauren. I am currently a sophomore at Mississippi State majoring in Biomedical Engineering. I go to New Covenant church there and love working with the youth. At school, I am a Resident Advisor in the dorm, so that has taught me a lot this year. Most of my friends would tell you that I am a very outgoing and optimistic person. My favorite thing to do is bond. I love deep relationships. Also, I love to be outside. I love to go hiking. I was a gymnast for 15 years, so I love to be active and adventurous. I’m one of those girls that tries to do everything that guys can do just to prove that I can. Most of all, I love Jesus and serving him. I love to love people in any way that I can! That’s my passion!
