Lauren Berst

Berst joined the OVC staff in the fall of 2015 moving to Nashville after living in New York 15 years.

When in New York, Berst worked primarily as an actor on stage and on camera and voiced many commercials for television and radio. Berst has extensive experience as an office manager, and worked for years as a personal and professional organizer. She is also a wine nerd, passing her Level 2 test with merit from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust.

Berst grew up around college athletics – her father worked at the NCAA for 43 years and her brother designs and builds athletic facilities…so it’s in her blood. She just went the opposite direction because she’s a middle child.

A native of Kansas City, Berst got a B.F.A. in acting from the University of Evansville and an M.F.A. in acting from the National Theatre Conservatory.
