Lauren (she/her) is in the class of 2025 and majoring in Philosophy and Cognitive Science. She is American and Taiwanese but grew up in Tokyo, Japan. Outside of Branford, she works as a research assistant in the School of Medicine and the School of Management. She also volunteers with Code Haven. Outside of classes and clubs, you can find her reading Wikipedia pages, working in the Sterling L&B room, or drinking matcha. Ask her about numismatics, what to do if you accidentally step on the courtyard seal so you can still graduate, and why Branford is the best college!
