Lauren became interested in linguistics during college. She loved how linguistics and language development can show marginalized people that their language is valuable. After taking several courses she felt God leading her toward Wycliffe, and language survey as a starting point. Lauren served with Wycliffe on the language survey team in Tanzania for two years. Upon returning home, she knew she wanted to continue her studies and completed a Masters in Linguistics. Over the course of her program, Lauren again felt God leading her to Wycliffe, and a new part of the world. Lauren now lives in the Balkans region, serving the local Roma community. She has a linguistic role, supporting Bible translation, Scripture engagement, and language development.
