Lauren works with a variety of sports teams including Ireland Basketball and Cork Constitution RFC. She recently completed a Masters in Sport, Exercise and Performance Psychology at the University of Limerick, and she is currently a doctoral researcher with the Irish Rugby Injury Surveillance.

The Limerick Lady is a grassroots movement shining a spotlight on female performing artists. The aim is to boost female visibility, encourage gender parity across the board, and encourage young women to embark on careers in typically male-dominated industries. The podcast is co-hosted by Emma Langford and Ann Blake, and recorded with support from The Limerick Post newspaper and Ormston House.
