I was Lauren’s colleague at Ontario Nature for 6 years and can confidently say she is an incredible asset to any team and workplace. Lauren is reliable, efficient, empathetic and diligent. She truly cares about the work she does and people she works with. Any employer would be very fortunate to have Lauren on their team.
