A little about Lauren...

I'm from Millbrook, Alabama and have loved living in our beautiful state my entire life. As a graduate of Auburn University, I was eager to come back home to Lee County to open my State Farm agency in 2021.

My husband, Colby and I live and worship in downtown Opelika. We enjoy spending time on the water and outdoors with our daughter. We have two cats, Boo and Holiday.
