The York College student started kickboxing at eight years old but didn't fight competitively until after Covid-19 restrictions were lifted. Alongside her competition success, Lauren says her kickboxing has also helped her with body confidence and has provided "psychological release" at key moments in her life.
She trains at the X Martial Arts School in Acomb and she says that she practically lives there and that she loves it due to how good the environment is.
