“I have been working with Lauren for a little over a year… I was told she would be an excellent resource for any questions I might have but I quickly came to realize what an understatement that was… I relied on Lauren heavily as I was trying to find my footing. She walked and talked me through all the processes with patience, kindness and grace. She helped me navigate Raisers Edge and taught me what I needed to do my job effectively. She is a database expert and very willing to impart her extensive knowledge… I can’t thank her enough for what she has done to enable me to excel at my job.”

“Lauren’s database management and analytics expertise not only supported us through staff transitions, she set us up for great success when we were able to bring staff on. Lauren is a problem-solver and results-oriented. There is no issue she isn’t willing to address through conversation, research and trial-and-error! However, by far, the best way to describe Lauren is as a highly contributing and kind collaborator. She builds relationships – never condescending with her knowledge, always friendly and ready to challenge herself and her clients for the best possible outcomes. I learned from her, but also thoroughly enjoyed working with her! She will be my first call with any future needs.”
