San Antonio raised and trained, Lauren graduated from Castle Hills First Baptist High School in 2002 and picked up her bachelor’s degree in art history and criticism from UTSA in 2007. But with a professional background in retail management, teaching and college ministry, she never imaged she would one day be working in the world of finance.

“Working at PAX has been an answer to many prayers,” Lauren says. “It has been a blessing to work with a team that goes above and beyond for their clients and for each other. It’s an honor to work with people who truly care about the wellbeing of others and who strive for excellence in all they do. I couldn’t have found a better place to work.”

She and her husband Chris, a native Oklahoman, married May of 2010. The couple, along with good friends, launched The Park Community Church in January of 2010.
