Hi, I’m Lauren.

And I am so glad you are here!

I am a Consultant. Had you told me this is what I would be doing a year ago- I would have been in shock. Me?! A consultant? What do I have to offer? Turns out - a lot! Once I worked through the imposter syndrome of making this career shift, I realized that my career, education, and knack for organization has positioned me well for this path. After working and serving for over 10 years in the AmeriCorps world, I knew I still wanted to remain grounded in service and social justice work. I have found a way to fulfill this by partnering with organizations that are mission-driven, transparent, and ready to lean into how they can strengthen their internal practices to better serve their communities.

I am an Instructional Designer. “But what does that even mean, Lauren?!” It means I build and design online learning courses for different groups. These courses can be fully embedded online or a hybrid model including various types of content and media design. I LOVE thinking about how people learn and how we can best support the engagement of learner’s from various backgrounds and ability levels.

I am a van-lifer. Yes, you have probably heard it by now, but I am currently living in my van full time and traveling the country. My partner and I love the outdoors and wanted to experience it more intimately. When I am not working, I am exploring new places, skiing, hiking, mountain biking or just catching a Netflix show. Living in the van has further exposed me to how vast, diverse and incredible this country and its people truly are.

I am a social justice advocate. There is not much I care more fiercely about than working towards a world that centers equity- in all of its institutions and practices. I understand that the movement towards a more just world is ongoing work and am committed to continuing creating inclusive spaces, engaging in my own self-work and utilizing my privilege to advocate for institutional change.
