Lauren Reinhart, CRNA

Meet Lauren, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) who has been practicing for 1.5 years at Lahey Hospital in Burlington, MA. For Lauren, every day offers a rewarding opportunity to learn, grow, and build trust with patients during some of their most vulnerable moments. Although she hasn't chosen a specialty yet, Lauren thrives on the variety that each case brings and appreciates the work-life balance that CRNAs enjoy, thanks to 12-hour shifts that allow time for travel and hobbies like scuba diving—most recently in Roatán, Honduras. 

She is proud to be a part of MANA and emphasizes the importance of mentorship, advocacy, and a strong community among CRNAs. If you're considering a career partnered with MANA, you won’t regret it!  

Ivy Gosselin, CRNA 

Meet Ivy, a dedicated Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) who has been practicing at Lowell General Hospital since September 2024. Ivy's journey into anesthesia began with a degree in Veterinary Technology, which ignited her passion for complex procedures and patient care. She specializes in regional anesthesia and obstetrics, and she excels at creating detailed plans for high-risk surgeries, all while embodying a patient-centered care model. 

Outside of work, Ivy treasures spending time traveling with her family. Last summer’s trip to France, Italy, and Greece was particularly unforgettable. She is also an animal lover and plans to get a Rottweiler puppy this year! Being part of MANA has greatly enriched her career through mentoring opportunities and attending the Midyear Assembly. Let’s celebrate Ivy and all CRNAs who are making a difference!

Sarah Fredriksson, CRNA

Meet Sarah Fredriksson, a CRNA with over 20 years of experience, currently practicing in Boston, MA! For #CRNAWeek, we’re highlighting Sarah’s incredible journey and passion for anesthesia. From providing pain relief for laboring moms in obstetrics to reducing opioid dependence with innovative techniques, Sarah’s work has transformed countless lives. Recently, she completed a Chronic Pain Fellowship at USF to tackle growing societal challenges like chronic pain and Substance Use Disorder. Outside of work, Sarah stays balanced by running, doing CrossFit, and training her German Shepherd puppy in K-9 Nosework!

"I encourage everyone who has an interest to volunteer for MANA, but if that’s not something you’re interested in or you don’t have time, then please write a check!" says Sarah.

As MANA’s current President, she emphasizes the importance of advocacy and encourages all CRNAs to get involved. Let’s celebrate Sarah and the amazing contributions of CRNAs everywhere!
