Before joining ECG, Lauren contributed to a variety of healthcare initiatives spanning public policy, health system operations, and data strategy. As a health policy fellow with LULAC, she secured $50,000 in pharmaceutical funding for health equity programming and supported the development of two federal grant proposals, totaling over $2 million, focused on expanding access to care in underserved communities. Lauren also worked at UCLA Health as a solutions architect and engineering intern, where she developed dashboards visualizing CDC data on Medicaid expansion and social determinants of health in the South to help inform system-level strategy, and as a new-patient coordinator at City of Hope, where she helped adapt supportive care services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
