Lauren Flores - Client Marketing Specialist

A little about Lauren:

  • Favorite Movie: Disney Pixar’s Up
  • Favorite Free Time Activity: Trips to Disneyland or the beach with my family.
  • Favorite Kukui Value: Love
  • Best Childhood Memory: My favorite memories growing up were our Saturday morning breakfasts. My mom was a single mother of 4 girls and she worked constantly to support us, but without fail, every Saturday morning we would wake up to her cooking breakfast and spent the morning together as a family.
  • Favorite Quote: “You will not always be the smartest person in the room, and you will not always be the strongest or funniest or the most talented. But you can always be brave and you can always be kind, and these are the things you should be every minute of every day for the rest of your life. Because yes, those other things, they’re great things. But these things are better.”

  • Favorite Movie: The Lion King (1994)

  • Favorite quote or phrase: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle
