General Information

About Lauren:	My goal in life is to save the world, so I started in Paris, learning the ropes of becoming an international woman of mystery. In the process, I was a legal assistant at an international corporate law firm before jumping on the green bandwagon through volunteering for conservation projects in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. At this stage in the game, I'm willing to go almost anywhere in the world in order to positively impact people's lives. My dream job would either be bringing sustainable energy solutions to rural coastal communities or...being the editor of National Geographic. Seeing as how I think the former is much more feasible and uses some of my favorite buzz words - "sustainable," "energy," "solutions" and "coastal" - I'd be very keen to hear your ideas for initiatives or opportunities in these fields!

What kind of positive change do you want to create in the world over the next 12 months?:	I want to make people in Cambodia, SE Asia, the United States and the world more generally speaking aware of the environmental crises currently facing Cambodia. I also want to engage them in rectifying or at least mitigating these problems by giving them avenues through which they can apply pressure to those who can affectuate change.
