Hello! My name is Lauren, and I am the author of these blog posts. I was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta – where I continue to live as I complete my online Master of Science in Aging and Health from Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario.
I completed my Bachelor of Science in Human Ecology from the University of Alberta. I also have two certificates from the University of Alberta in Sustainability and Community Engagement.
I balance my current full-time job as a Student Advisor, with my work in my community – both as a Board Member of a local non-profit agency, and as a volunteer driver for seniors. I am passionate about helping people and making a positive impact on the world! I have keen interest in gerontology with issues relating to retirement, intergenerational relationships, housing, and age-friendly communities.
