In his previous role as Co-Executive Director at the Gender Health Center, he worked to support and advocate on behalf of transgender individuals for medical and primary care physicians, insurance carriers that deny transgender people care, legal disputes for those that have been denied, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren attended California State University, Sacramento and graduated in 2019 as the first person to graduate with an LGBTQ+ Studies minor, also helping create this curriculum for future graduates of this program. He graduated with a bachelor\u2019s degree in Women\u2019s Studies with an associates in Behavioral Health Studies and LGBTQ+ Studies. After graduating, Lauren held space as a representative to California\u2019s District 7 Assemblymember Kevin McCarty. During his first four months within the California State Legislature, Lauren facilitated raising the Transgender Pride Flag over Sacramento\u2019s City Hall and California\u2019s State Capitol for Transgender Day of Remembrance in 2019. This was the first time in our nation\u2019s history that the Transgender Pride Flag has been raised at a state capital building. Lauren is also a columnist for Northern California\u2019s LGBT publication, Outword Magazine, where he writes about his personal experiences and journey as a transgender man, as well as amplifying the lived experiences of other Sacramento trans and gender non-conforming community members. He also sits on Visit Sacramento\u2019s LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee. Lauren will forever dedicate his life to embracing the movement, living authentically, and breaking down barriers to help build a society focused on equity and protecting our most historically marginalized communities.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren lives in Sacramento, CA with his Bernese Mountain Dog puppy named Gunther, four kittens, and a giant tortoise. He enjoys visiting neighboring communities and bridging the gaps of service beyond urban city limits and to those who are harder to reach. He will forever dedicate his life to leaving a better world than he found it and enriching and supporting the community that he loves, his transgender family.<\/p>\n<p>[\/dipl_hotspot_item][\/dipl_hotspot][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221;
