Veterinary Assistant
Lauren was born and raised in Washington, where she was constantly surrounded by the warmth and companionship of cats and dogs. Growing up, animals were always an integral part of her life, and this early connection fostered a deep love for caring for and understanding animals. From a young age, Lauren knew that her future would involve working with animals in some capacity. After spending much of her life in different parts of Washington, Lauren made the decision to move across the state, seeking new opportunities and a change of pace. Eventually, she settled in the lively town of North Bend, where the lush forest and scenic landscapes offered her a fresh start and a new home.
Once in North Bend, Lauren's passions for animals naturally led her to pursue a professional career in the veterinary field. In January of 2025, she joined the Salish Veterinary Hospital team, excited to turn her lifelong love for animals into a meaningful and fulfilling career. Lauren quickly became a valued member of the team, bringing her dedication, compassion, and enthusiasm for animal care to Salish. Every day, she looks forward to learning more and making a positive impact on the lives of both animals and their families.
At home, Lauren shares her life with her loyal dog, Cooper, and her playful cat, Spooky (pictured). Cooper, with his gentle nature and unwavering companionship, is a constant source of comfort, while Spooky adds a touch of mischief and humor to their home. Together, they make up a loving and joyful family, with Lauren at the center, providing care, affection, and attention to her beloved pets.
Outside of her professional life, Lauren enjoys expressing herself creatively, particularly through singing. Music has always been an important outlet for Lauren, allowing her to tap into her emotions and express herself in ways that words alone cannot. Whether she's singing her favorite songs or trying her hand at new creative projects, Lauren enjoys exploring her artistic side. She is always looking for new ways to engage her creativity, bringing balance and fulfillment to both work and personal life.
