About me
I’m Lauren Tarnoff, a passionate sports enthusiast and a driven individual ready to make a significant impact in the industry. Currently, I’m enrolled in the University of Notre Dame's Master of Science in Management program while balancing my time as a Division 1 athlete. I recently graduated from Notre Dame with a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication Design, a minor in Digital Marketing, and a supplemental major in French & Francophone Studies. My deep-rooted love for sports, combined with my diverse skills in design, marketing, and communications, fuels my ambitions.

Beyond my athletic and academic achievements, I’ve proven myself as a leader and advocate in various roles. As a foundational member of ND Elevate, a leadership program for women professionals at Notre Dame, I’ve contributed to program development and empowered fellow women in their professional journeys. My design and social media internship experience with Voice in Sport, a platform focused on mentorship and empowerment for women in sports, further exemplify my dedication to advancing gender equity. Additionally, my creative design internship with the NBA allowed me to hone my design talents and contribute to the visual storytelling of one of the most prominent sports organizations in the world.
With my proficiency in French, I’m also curious about expanding sports to the international stage, particularly the European/EMEA market. My language skills position me to facilitate international partnerships, strengthen market penetration strategies, and promote widespread engagement in sports globally.
My commitment to excellence extends beyond the court. I’ve been honored with selections to the All-ACC Academic Team (2022 & 2023 seasons), the College Sports Communicators' Academic All-District Team (2022 & 2023 seasons), and received an Academic Award from my Head Coach, Salima Rockwell (2022 season).
My remarkable achievements on and off the court, coupled with my undeniable passion and experience with advocacy, leadership, and program development, position me as an exceptional professional candidate.

Beyond the resume
As a photographer, I see it as a way to capture the world through a unique lens, especially in moments of action and emotion. I’m drawn to the challenge of freezing dynamic scenes in a single shot, and I find the process of photo and video editing equally rewarding. It allows me to bring my creative vision to life and enhance those moments to create even more powerful and meaningful visuals.
When I'm not behind the camera, volleyball is a major part of my life. My passion for the sport goes beyond playing; I’m also deeply committed to coaching and mentoring youth athletes. In my free time, I love tackling puzzles, and lately, my obsession has been Star Battle.
