Meet Lauren Poyck, one of CDR’s Graduate Assistants! 🤙

Lauren is a Genetic Counseling graduate student at the University of South Carolina with a passion for making complex genetic information accessible and empowering individuals and families to make informed decisions about their health.

As a Graduate Assistant, Lauren is looking forward to gaining hands-on experience with the CDR Assistive Technology Program, exploring how adaptive tools can promote independence and participation, and building skills she can carry into her future career as a genetic counselor.

When she’s not studying, you might find Lauren strength training, scrapbooking, rewatching Gilmore Girls, or spending time with her cats, Cricket and Frog. 🐾

We’re excited to have Lauren as part of the CDR team!
