Lauren K Stevens

Passionate about merging academic knowledge with real-world experience to educate and inspire future leaders at Hawaii Pacific University. Skilled in bridging the gap between theory and practice as a scholar-practitioner and police officer. Dedicated to creating a supportive learning environment that promotes critical thinking and personal growth. Committed to equipping students with the tools necessary for success in their academic and professional pursuits.

I was platoon leader in the police academy, requiring me to be in charge of over 15 recruits. Leadership of this type meant answering for the recruits in my platoon, taking punishment for them, making speeches, and ensuring everyone was always squared away.
