About Lauren

With a Bachelor in Physical Education and Health and a Masters in Educational Leadership and Administration, Lauren has worked across Melbourne schools for over 15 years as a Head of Sport, Health and Physical Education teacher, mentor and sports coach. She also brings valuable experience working with Indigenous students, where connection and cultural understanding further shaped her approach to teaching and leadership.

In 2019, Lauren was named Vice Captain of Carlton’s VFLW team. It was there she discovered a powerful connection between mindset and performance, igniting her passion to help others unlock their potential through mindset education.

Since 2022, Lauren has been the founder of Think Set Go, a mindset and goal achievement education program that empowers students, athletes, coaches and leaders to develop the skills, motivation and mental wellness needed for meaningful goal pursuit. In 2024, she published the student handbook Mastering Your Mind for Success and has since delivered impactful workshops, presentations and coaching resources for schools and sporting organisations.

Lauren is a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and has undertaken extensive study in metacognition, self-regulation, communication skills, and growth mindset. Her approach is grounded in both research and real-world coaching and teaching experience, equipping participants with practical tools that create lasting impact.

An advocate for lifelong learning, Lauren continues to share her expertise widely. She has featured on podcast interviews including Courageous Me, The Tattooed Teacher Podcast, Energetic Radio, and The SchoolYard Cast on YouTube. Her writing has appeared in Star Weekly Magazine, and she will be contributing to The National Firefighter and Youthwise magazine later this year.

In 2025, Lauren will be a speaker at the National Education Summit and is presenting teacher professional development with ACHPER Australia.

Through her work, Lauren aims to inspire the next generation to build resilience, shift their mindset and pursue goals with confidence.
