Always creative, she’s an experienced barista who loves to experiment with caffeinated flavors, and is waiting to start her cosmetology apprenticeship.

Alaska has always been Zoey’s home; she was born in Fairbanks, but moved to Eagle River ten years ago. In her spare time, she hangs out with her dog, shops, & reads poetry.

She also works as an accountant, and is currently earning her bachelors degree in Business Management at the University of Alaska Anchorage.

Lauren graduated from The University of North Alabama with a BS in Fashion Merchandising & Design with a Certification in Innovation Engineering. As if 4 years of college wasn’t enough, Lauren has also completed the 1650-hours to earn her Hair Dressing License in the state of Alaska, and presently works at the Lexington Day Spa in downtown Anchorage.

Growing up in the south, Lauren developed a passion for hosting and learned the importance of a good meal and its ability to bring people together from none other than the best, her Nana. Lauren has been with Alaska Berry & Board for just at a year, and in addition to being able to work with a good group of people, it makes her feel right at home.
