That fall, Lauren began studies as a coloratura soprano at the esteemed Wanda L. Bass School of Music at Oklahoma City University where she graduated with high honors in the masters of music degree program for vocal performance. While at OCU, Lauren participated in the Miss OCU program in order to pay for her studies and won. As Miss OCU 2006, she went on to win rookie talent, overall talent and interview awards at Miss Oklahoma, finishing as 4th runner up.
