About Me.

My name is Lauren Flores, and I am a lover of technology, imaginative storytelling, and most of all, I am a passionate advocate for User Experiences (UX) and Research Development.

Long before I had ever heard of UX, I was simply fascinated by technology and the human experience. At an early age, I naturally gravitated towards folk tales, the romanticism of Disney, and using creative imagination to explore new worlds and possibilities. Fastforward years later, I graduated college in 2014 with a degree in Psychology and Law. I chose Cognitive Science as a major because I knew that as an interdisciplinary field, it would allow me to explore the intersection between the human experience and the qualifying nature of dependable research. I ventured into the unknown with hopes of reimagining the world as we knew it.

With over half a decade of progressive experience across a diverse set of research and operational segments, I have cultivated a unique and valuable set of skills through my time working in politics, academia, and the private sector. I developed extraordinary interpersonal skills working political campaings and serving as a legislative aid for a prominent United States Senator in Washington, DC. I developed my analytical and research techniques as a senior research associate working for the University of California, and became an impactful business leader in the community by cultivating and expanding our small lab-based venture into its own department, capable of competing with industry-sized technology companies.
