Lauren Harkins is our new Family Education Intern and a first-year graduate student at Vanderbilt’s Peabody College, where she is studying to become a Certified Child Life Specialist.
A native of Marianna, Florida, Lauren brings extensive experience in supporting children and families with medical challenges, including her leadership at FSU’s Dance Marathon and her involvement with Phi Mu Fraternity and the Children’s Miracle Network.
Highly recommended by her mentor, Dr. Jessika Boles, for her passion for helping families navigate rare diagnoses, Lauren will dedicate ten hours weekly to creating resources for children and volunteers at various events. We are excited to have her join the team and support her career growth.
