Lauren began her journey in edtech after graduating from the University of New Hampshire with degrees in Health and Education. Soon after marrying her college sweetheart, Lauren and her husband moved to Jacksonville Florida in search of new adventures, some sun and a career.
Lauren found that adventure and much more when she began her new career at a small but growing Ed-Tech Company. This start-up led Lauren to meet with thousands of school districts across the country and ultimately lead a national sales team and company to explosive growth and acquisition. In her role as Senior Vice President for Educational Tools (now Apex Learning), she both developed and delivered game-changing customized digital learning tools for the classroom. Under Lauren’s sales leadership, ETI grew from a small technology start-up to a leader in the K12 space in just a few short years.
After countless weekly flights and earning elite status on nearly every airline, Lauren decided it was time to make a change. In 2012 she welcomed the opportunity to become the Senior Vice President of Business Development for Six Red Marbles (SRM), the largest US based development house for learning materials. Here she acquired numerous new clients and led their strategic partnerships including Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Microsoft and The Gates Foundation. Though she loved her time at SRM something just clicked when she met with the TEG team and she knew it was time to take this chance - a chance that gave her not only the opportunity she has always dreamed of but a place to really make a difference.
Today, Lauren resides in the Florida area with her husband and daughter. She has found that missing piece, having a passion for what she does and making a small difference in peoples lives. TEG’s ambitions are to join teachers, parents and the community in a collaboration to support the academic success of our children. Lauren shares the company’s belief that there is no work greater, and no stakes higher, than the preparation of the next generation. You will find Lauren collaborating at conferences, meeting with our State clients or at the beach and pool on the weekends! Lauren has found a whole new meaning to work-life balance and having an unbelievable spouse and daughter by her side definitely helps.
