Lauren is a high school student aiming to further her literary atmosphere. As a co-owner, she runs MyInk, a mental health journaling platform for teens that is filtered through their high school so that they may anonymously connect to their guidance counselors in order to find help when they need it most. Her business is still in the development stage, but she is using the resources given to her from her award to continue to make it a reality. Besides school and business, Lauren holds records for her high school’s track and field team and is hoping to run again soon.
