About Lauren

Contact Lauren for an appointment

Hello! I’m Lauren Goeku (Unik).

I’m originally from Manitoba, Canada and have been living in Japan off and on for the past 11 years. Currently, I’m located in Okinawa. In 2015,  I graduated with a Master’s in Education from the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge (UK) with an award of distinction.

During my undergraduate degree in psychology, I won a $48,000 graduate scholarship from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) for my research proposal in cognitive science. My undergraduate thesis was awarded a Canadian Psychological Association Award of Excellence, and I also received the Ten Have Award for Most Outstanding Undergraduate Thesis in the Department of Psychology at the University of Manitoba.

I have extensive experience in writing and editing and have been published in the International Journal of Psychology (2008) and the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology (2012). I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Manitoba.

I also have an ongoing professional relationship with several science laboratories in Japan to edit their manuscripts before submitting them for peer-reviewed publication.

Since August 2019, I’ve been a proud member of the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants.

I have two wonderful children, and in our free time, we love going on adventures,  growing things in our garden, and spending time with our dog, Hugo.

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Lauren Goeku
