I don't respond to every LinkedIn DM, so if you need me email me at Lauren@Lessonswithlauren.co and yes it's .co not .com 

If you are a job seeker and want me to put your email in my database to scan when I get open roles please email your resume in a .doc format to lauren@lessonswithlauren.co with the subject line New Candidate Resume. Please do not DM me your resume or ask me to keep you in mind for upcoming opportunities. Instead please email your resume or apply for one of the open roles I have posted. 

My background spans from hospitality to construction then sales, I've started multiple companies and am currently loving growing my own recruiting and consulting agency, LWL Consulting. I love to go to local networking events and want to keep growing my local network. 

I work in Boca Raton Florida at a wonderful space with tons of co-working space - if you are ever in South Florida and looking for a great place to work reach out to me. 

Cheers and thanks for being here 🙌
