Ten minutes with Lauryn
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my willingness to take chances and act even when I'm uncertain of the outcome. Continuous learning has also been essential, and I've been able to apply what I'm learning in my master's coursework directly to my work. Mentorship has played a significant role in shaping my career, as has my ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Some of the most valuable guidance I've received has come from mentorship with clinicians, including a physician assistant who shared key clinical articles and practical insight that shaped how I approach my work. I've also received pragmatic advice from my family about being thoughtful and cautious with financial decisions, which has stayed with me throughout my career.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I encourage young women entering this industry to take chances, even on small opportunities, and to act on them rather than hesitate out of doubt. It's important to keep learning broadly across different functions, share knowledge generously with others, and prioritize collaboration over competition. Ultimately, I believe in staying focused on how your work contributes to helping patients.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Biotechnology is evolving rapidly, with new and increasingly specialized programs emerging across the industry. Product launches and company transitions present exciting opportunities to build out training programs and commercialization strategies, but they also come with real operational challenges that require adaptability and careful planning.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Collaboration is central to how I operate, both professionally and personally. I'm deeply motivated by the work of translating scientific research into practical, patient-centered applications. Outside of work, health and fitness are important to me, and I strive to maintain a calm, balanced approach to both my career and personal life.
