A woman with long red hair smiles outdoors, sunlight streaming through trees at First Presbyterian Baton Rouge.

Lauren serves First Presbyterian as the Joyful Noise Children’s Choir Director and Music Office Assistant. Growing up in a small Methodist church in Arkansas, it has always been her delight to lift up her voice in praise to the Lord! Lauren graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from Henderson State University in Arkansas. In 2014, she earned a Master of Music from Louisiana State University where she studied with Patricia O’Neill and Dr. Loraine Sims. It is her pleasure to share her love of the Lord and music with First Presbyterian!
