Lauren was born in Knoxville, Tennessee but grew up in the greater Chattanooga area. She attended Bryan College and received her Bachelors in Psychology. It was during her time at Bryan that she met her husband, marrying in 2017. Continuing her education at Richmont University, she received a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
