Lauren WalkerVisual Resume

About Me Having just graduated from the University of Kentucky at

the age of 22, I am a very energetic, hard working, “live life to the fullest” kind of person. I was born and raised in the big city of Louisville Kentucky where I attended St. Raphael Grade school and Assumption High School. I have spent the last four years of my life in Lexington being part of the “Big Blue Nation.” Throughout my life I have always put my whole heart into everything I do, whether it was playing competitive and high school soccer or studying long hours everyday to make good grades. I come from a large and religious family that I am very close to.
