Notable work and projects include leadership, program design and development, process improvement, and resource mobilization for: The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, Nurse-Family Partnership, Stepping Stones International, and the City of New York among others. In 2019 Lauren was selected as 1 of 6 capacity building experts to travel to Botswana, Africa to develop a community-driven curriculum and run workshops for over 30 Civil Society Organizations [CSOs] as part of the “SE TLOGELWATSATSING” initiative. This project epitomized cross-sector collaboration, with a shared goal to combat HIV as a public health crisis by 2030. Much of her work centered around capacitating organizations to create best practice interventions that increase safety for children and youth impacted by the HIV epidemic and mobilize resources for widespread implementation. Lauren’s work on the projects successfully organized and activated a cadre of CSOs helping to build a communitywide response in urban, rural and semi-rural regions to protect the health and wellness of vulnerable children across the country.
Lauren received her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice from Northeastern University and her Master’s in Public Administration with a specialized degree in Policy Analysis & Evaluation from Baruch School of Public Affairs. She is certified in LEAN Foundations & Management Systems through Denver Health's LEAN Academy as well as in Justice Informed Practice through the Center for Urban Community Services in New York City.
"Put a grain of boldness into everything you do"
Lauren operates through four pillars that guide her approach as a consultant and thought-partner:
(1) Build consensus and a shared sense of purpose
(2) Disrupt the status quo through curious pursuit of information and understanding
(3) Be data-driven but people-centered
(4) Ensure communication, feedback loops and transparency, because if you’re not listening, you’re not learning.
