Lauren is a 16-year-old honor student with an unfathomable love for the ocean. She intends to pursue a degree in marine biology upon graduation from high school. Her passion for the ocean has been an essential part of her childhood, and has only grown since she conducted a series of scientific dives with SeaTrek BVI in 2015. Lauren will be revisiting SeaTrek in the upcoming summer where she will apply her grant towards Nitrox, Advanced, and Rescue Diver certifications while also continuing her work on coral studies and aiding in turtle conservation acts.
