Hello! I am Lauren Fishback and I am beyond thrilled to be part of this year's Dancing with the Stars fundraiser with Young Life. 

I grew up in San Diego and attended CSU Long Beach where I met my husband Eric. I moved to Visalia in 2013 and got married in October 2014 - Happy 10 Year Anniversary! Over the past decade we have traveled to over eight countries, remodeled our 1960's home, completed a Master's Degree, and expanded businesses. I am truly grateful for the past 10 years together and I can't wait for the next 10. 

Professionally, I have had the pleasure of working for College of the Sequoias since 2016. I currently serve as the District's Director of Marketing and Public Relations. Serving in this role over the past five years has been beyond my wildest dreams. I could not do this job without a supportive President, Brent Calvin, and team members, Vanessa & Jonathan who believe in sharing the stories and experiences of students, faculty, staff, and community partners. 

Thank you to my parents, Robbi and Perry, who made me try every activity before realizing that my heart only wanted to dance. They supported my dream through countless car rides to and from the studio, dance competitions, hours of Nutcracker rehearsals and performances, costume fittings, and really smelly point shoes. Thank you both. 

Finally, thank you to Young Life for including me in this exciting fundraiser. It is truly an honor to participate. See you on the dance floor!
