Bio
Robbee Minicola
I have known Lauren for two years now and am thoroughly enjoying the role of mentor as she seeks to transition from an early childhood development leader to working in the business field. What I love about Lauren is her dedication to the task, the fact that she is able to apply what she has done in her current career to business generally, and that she thinks on her feet. I honestly believe she would be a great addition to any team.
