Lauren holds a Masters degree in Early Childhood & Childhood Education from Hofstra University. Her passion for The Children’s Heart Foundation stems from her  sons Congenital Heart Defect.  Her son, Ronnie, was born with a Dysplastic (ebstenoidal) Tricuspid Valve, which allows regurgitation of blood and an enlargement of the right side of his heart. Lauren’s life-long promise to her son is to help fund medical research to ensure children who are born with CHD’s are given the best chance to a long and happy life.

Lauren looks forward to working with the foundation for years to come and is honored to serve as a board member.
