Character

Lazo will serve as a captain for the upcoming season. In summer 2014, Lazo obtained a marketing internship with Paramount Citrus where she worked alongside those far more experienced within the industry. While working for Paramount Citrus, Lazo played soccer with the LA Blues, a W-League team that went on to win its league title for the summer.

Community

Lazo is a member of the Princeton Varsity Student Athlete Advisory Committee which attempts to bridge the gap between athletes and administrators. The committee seeks to enhance the Princeton student-athlete experience by providing student-athletes with a voice within the athletic department regarding both athletic and academic issues, as well as working with institutional representatives to develop appropriate improvements.  Lazo is also a member of Best Buddies on campus, which facilitates the creation of friendships between Princeton students and those within the community that have autism.  During a freshman seminar class, she had the opportunity to spend 1-on-1 time with a local teen from her professors private practice. Through the Princeton Varsity Club, Lazo has helped to reconstruct a YMCA, read to children in Trenton, help families affected by Hurricane Sandy, and annually aid in setting up the Community of Lights, which is a fundraiser to help abused women.
