Lauren is a gifted partnership professional. I have worked closely with Lauren at ACPMP, and her commitment to excellence has been inspiring. ACPMP has been a generous supporter of SSO's programs in appendiceal cancers and peritoneal surface malignancies. Lauren's diligent oversight to ensure every aspect of our agreement is fulfilled, ensuring careful stewardship of her organization's funding, has impressed everyone. She is eternally kind and extremely knowledgeable, delivering spectacular attention to detail. She understands people. Patients and surgeons alike make an instant connection. It is truly a joy to work with her.

I had the privilege of working with Lauren for four years at the ACPMP Research Foundation. Lauren was instrumental in building ACPMP's brand and reputation through her passion, creativity, attention to detail, dedication and her caring persona. She earned the respect of the entire ACPMP community (doctors, patients, caregivers). I was always impressed with her ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently and provide valuable leadership to our team and community. Lauren is extremely driven, eager to learn and grow, and her communication skills are top notch. Lauren would be an asset to any organization and I highly recommend her. Susan Ortega (Former Board Member and IT Director at The ACPMP Research Foundation)
