Prior to joining JDA, Lauren was the Operations Manager at Baker Tilly, where she led large-scale project management for the firm. She successfully set up and managed a contact center with a staff of over 300 who processed $361.5 million in CARES Act Funding claims for a tribal nation heavily impacted by COVID-19.

Upon wrap-up of the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, Lauren became the Client Relationship Manager for a partnership with one of the world’s largest tax prep companies, overseeing recruitment efforts to increase staffing from 25 to 750 in under 18 months.
