Lauren's friendly face at Stanley Dentistry might look familiar if you followed Wake Tech volleyball, where she played for two years! After her time on the court, she followed her passion for helping people feel their best by studying at Aveda Institute Chapel Hill to become an esthetician. But her family connection to dentistry (her mom worked in the field while Lauren was growing up) led her to discover her true calling. She went on to complete her dental assistant training at Dental U Cary, where she found her talent for making patients feel at ease as a hygiene assistant.

As an only child, Lauren learned early on how to connect with people and brighten their day – a skill she puts to great use in our office. When she's not helping patients smile, you'll find her soaking up the outdoors with her boyfriend Josh. Whether they're at a country concert, hunting, fishing, or just enjoying nature, Lauren's always up for an adventure. Her goal? To make everyone around her smile, even if it's just with a small compliment or a friendly hello. That's just who Lauren is, and we couldn't be happier to have her on our team.
