Bio
Jessica Gregg
Lauren is a wonderful colleague. While we worked in different departments, I had the pleasure of getting to know Lauren in my time at Quad Learning and was always happy to connect with her and learn about the initiatives she leads. Lauren is extremely warm and professional, and is truly passionate about helping students succeed. In her role Lauren meets with leaders at colleges and universities around the country, and she does so with ease and grace. I would love the opportunity to work with Lauren again in the future, it was a true privilege!
