Lauren will be joining the Sustainable Westchester staff in the spring of 2020 to manage the second EnergySmart HOMES grant.

Outside of work, Lauren is a familiar presence at numerous sustainability initiatives across Westchester County.

She volunteers with Green Ossining, hosting the largest Earth Day Celebration in Westchester County and helps organize the monthly Ossining Documentary and Discussion Series. Beekeeping at Mariondale in Ossining and volunteering at Hilltop Hanover Farm in Yorktown also keep Lauren busy. Most recently, she became a member of the Westchester County Climate Crisis Task Force.
