Biography

Originally hailing from the glorious ‘burbs of Maryland, Lauren spent 15 years having a love affair with New York City before swapping the concrete jungle for the real jungle. Now, you can find her embracing all things luxuriant living – the good, the glamorous to the ungodly flying bugs – between the tropics of Mexico and South FL. But let’s rewind. A serial entrepreneur, Lauren has been proudly self-employed since earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Advertising & Marketing Communications from the alma mater that will always have her heart, FIT. Past lives have seen her at the helm of an eponymous fashion PR & events agency for nearly a decade, moonlighting as a freelance lifestyle writer and joining forces with her husband, Alberto, to run a successful multi-artist photography & videography studio. A self-described boss babe, slow traveler and sun-avoidant SPF addict who doesn’t particularly like sand, heat or humidity, Lauren often wonders how it is that she ended up in the tropics. Yet here she is, in a state of perpetual radiance (read: sweat) and uncontrollably voluminous hair. Embracing her best beach life, she founded Under the Palm in 2023 as an editorial destination for fellow escapists seeking intel on all things lush, balmy and breezy. Going one step further, she also now offers bespoke travel planning as a luxury travel advisor.
