“Having Lauren as a mentor was extremely impactful on me. She is such a positive light in a political field. I would not be who I am without her influence and her time.”

Tiffany

“Lauren was my mentor for about four months and even in that little amount of time, I saw improvements in both my English and ASL skills. She was patient, dedicated, and focused on helping me develop my skills and was always there when I needed her throughout our time together.  Her feedback was honest and thoughtful and she continuously sent me extra resources to help me along even further. Without Lauren’s mentorship, I wouldn’t be at the level I am at now.”

Angel

“Lauren is a one-of-a-kind interpreter and one-of-a-kind mentor! She is kind, supportive, knowledgeable and gentle. She helped guide me to things I needed to work on by always pushing me to deeply analyze my work. She has a warm and inviting presence that makes you feel at ease when working together. She is always encouraging, helpful and kind. Thank you, Lauren for all you did to help me achieve my goals!”

Alison

“I can't even begin to explain how I hit the jackpot when I got paired with Lauren as my mentor! She did such a fantastic job supporting me throughout the entire process. She allowed me to voice where I felt I needed help and improvement, as well as bringing up the things she saw that I could improve upon. She was extremely proactive, on time, and always made herself available for me in whatever way I needed.  Her feedback and teaching tools were always challenging and encouraged me to dig deeper, to push myself further. My time with her was so beneficial! She always made sure I was comfortable, but yet at the same time growing in both skills and confidence.”
