Lauren Lien

Lauren Nicole Lien was born in Mission Hills, California. Close to her Puerto Rican heritage, Lauren has kept a strong passion for culture, spirituality and diversity. Lauren went to a small Episcopalian private school in Apple Valley, California, then attended public high school where she starred in her first major theater role as the lead, Duke Orsino in Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night". This started Lauren's journey to her entertainment career. Throughout school she would host events and was highly involved in community outreach, student leadership, sports and other activities- never feared to take a stand. Lauren attended the University of California Riverside and transferred to California State University Fullerton where she graduated with a B.A. in Communications/Public Relations. Having a tenacious drive to understand the business world as an artist, she worked with event groups, Project Ethos and RAW Artists to help promote aspiring artists showcase their craft. While enrolled in acting classes and workshops, Lauren worked for major Fortune 500 companies where she was mentored by some of the top professionals who gave her opportunities to learn and grow in the business world. It came time for Lauren to leave the corporate world to follow her passion. Her first short film role as Daniels in Drain Desert Tanner, won several awards in the 48 Hour Film Festival and was accepted into the 2010 Cannes Festival. Since then Lauren has taken time off to travel the world and explore the entertainment business around the globe. She now spends her time between the United States and the United Arab Emirates.
