About Lauren

Hello! My name is Lauren and I'm a graduate student at CSUMB's Master of Environmental Science program. I'm currently an intern for the Monterey Audubon Society. In my freetime I take walks by the coast and go birdwatching, I have learned to identify them by their plumage, calls, and even their unique personalities! I love sharing my passion for birds and have gotten many people into birdwatching. I enjoy drawing the birds I see, and taking the time to appreciate all of the intruiging details. I previously tutored undergraduate peers in the course "Physical and Chemical Environments" at UCSC. I'm happy to share a sample of my tutoring slides. Additionally, I volunteered at Natural Bridges State Beach where I led tours for school groups in the Monarch Butterfly Grove and the tidepools. Nowadays, I participate in and occasionally lead birding walks with CSUMB's birding club. I hope to land a role in environmental research. I would love the opportunity to share my curiosity with you!
