Lauren Valentine
RN BSN
Program Educator
Lauren joined the OhKnow team in April 2018 as an educator. A graduate of Texas Tech University Health Science Center, she worked as a labor and delivery RN for 10 years. Her favorite part of her job at OhKnow is engaging with students and seeing their eyes light up when they learn something new. “Until nursing school, I was not fully educated about many of the details we share [through OhKnow] about fetal development and STDs/STIs.” She “loves the opportunity to equip young minds and empower them to make the best decisions for themselves.”
