She created the BAFTA Nominated digital spin-off series to the BBC's The Dumping Ground, SASHA'S CONTACT MEETING, and was named on the BBC hotlist of 200 new emerging talents tipped as future stars. She was previously on the BBC Drama Writers' Programme 2017, where she developed her girl-gang drama THE LOST CHIX with New Pictures and the BBC.

Lauren is currently showrunning DOMINO DAY and has other projects in early development.
