| My name is Lauren and I am 20 years old. I graduated from Spanish Springs High School in 2003 and since then I have been attending college. My major is declared as Early Childhood Education, but as of right now I am not too sure if that is what I want to be doing. I enjoy working at Baring because the staff and Doctors are great and I like to work in an environment where I know I am making a difference. When I am not working I love spending time with my seven-month-old Beagle named Rylee (she keeps me pretty busy), or hanging out with my friends. |
