I cannot say enough about how incredibly rare and hard working Lauren is as both a colleague and powerful leader. Her expertise in operations and technical capabilities inspired others on a daily basis.
She has a natural ability to become an expert in anything she dives into, and her level headed attitude is something I have never seen before having the opportunity to work with her.
As a colleague and as a manager, Lauren is one-of-a-kind, and would surely become the backbone of any opportunity she takes on.
