Lauren is an amazing young woman. Although I admire her many marketing and administrative skills, I find Lauren's professionalism, drive and ambition to be what sets her apart. Lauren's direct no nonsense approach to doing whatever is necessary to get the job done makes her invaluable to me as a colleague and friend. She is efficient, bright, practical and creative and up for any challenge. I love working with her and will do so at every opportunity.
