Background

About Lauryn Knapp

I discovered my passion for leadership early on—though I didn’t fully realize it at the time. It started with a leadership class recommendation in elementary school and continued through middle school, where I actively took on leadership roles. But in high school and my early years at community college, I drifted away from that path without giving it much thought. That changed when I transferred to the University of the Pacific. Joining a student cohort for the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce reignited my love for leadership, mentoring, and relationship-building. It reminded me of how much I enjoyed helping others grow—both personally and professionally. From that point on, I made it a priority to stay engaged in leadership opportunities. I joined programs like Prospanica, where I built my networking skills, and took on key roles, including Senior Vice President of a professional business fraternity. My passion has always been guiding and supporting others, and I love being in spaces where I can serve as a mentor and role model. With my background in Human Resources and Marketing, I see endless opportunities to apply my leadership skills in meaningful ways. I want to use my strengths to help others reach their full potential while contributing to a positive and impactful work culture.
