Lauren Taylor, she/her
Class of 2025
Lauren is a recent 2023 University of North Carolina graduate with two bachelors in Political Science and History. She graduated high-school in 2020 in Greenville, NC, during COVID, and attended most of her time at UNC Chapel Hill online. Although a strong Tarheel fan, she is excited to take upon Duke Universities MPP program this fall. At the age of 21, she is looking forward to hopefully getting into Duke’s Law school as well to complete a dual degree.
Some of Lauren’s interests include: anime, walking her dog, publishing another novel, and creative writing.
For her areas of concentration, she hopes to get involved in Social Policy — she wants to make a difference for Native American women. As a Native women herself, she has experienced a decade of discrimination against her skin color; while at Duke University, she plans to conduct her own research to bring together the police and Native American communities to limit police brutality. Her goal is to bring justice for Missing and Murdered Indigenous women.
Upon graduating from Duke University (and hopefully Law school, fingers crossed), she plans on starting her own Law business in the Duke area. After a couple of years of developing her skills, she will pursue a degree in the United Nations to further her goal of protecting Native American women.
