I'm Lauren, a computer science student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I love web development and data science, and am currently volunteering as a software developer at Hack4Impact UIUC and working on development for the d7 Research Group at Illinois. In my free time, I enjoy playing volleyball, baking, listening to music, and hiking!

What am I up to right now?
