Overview

Lauren is one of the most consistently elite Fellows in the Diamond League — a high-achieving academic performer, nationally recognized Division I fencer, and one of the most polished interpersonal profiles in the entire class. While her résumé is already among the strongest, what truly separates her is her Two-Way Player capacity: she is equally comfortable driving high-level analytical work and building strong rapport with any personality type.

People naturally open up to her. She leads with warmth, humor, and empathy — which has made her an anchor on the UNC fencing team, across nonprofits, and now within MAP’s case environments. Her ability to connect with strangers, teammates, and executives alike is rare for a first-year business candidate, and it elevates the cohesion and morale of every team she touches.

Combine that with flawless consistency (always early, zero lapses), a 3.9 GPA, and competitive experience in one of the toughest athletic and academic environments in the ACC, and Lauren projects as a premium Round 1–2 candidate with both technical readiness and outstanding emotional intelligence.
