Lauren is a Kansas City native and a graduate of the University of Kansas, where she earned a degree in Strategic Communications. She spent more than a decade in digital advertising, managing eight-figure budgets for some of the world's largest brands and agencies, along with consulting in the ad tech space. This experience sharpened her ability to think strategically, analyze data, manage complex projects, and negotiate at a high level — skills that translate seamlessly into today's competitive real estate market.

Through buying, selling, and renovating multiple properties across several states, real estate quickly evolved from a side passion into a full-fledged career. Lauren brings a business-minded, detail-oriented approach to every transaction, pairing strong market knowledge with thoughtful strategy, clear communication, and meticulous organization. She is known for guiding clients confidently through fast-moving, high-stakes decisions while keeping their goals front and center.

Having lived in a wide range of neighborhoods throughout Chicago, Lauren offers valuable local insight and a genuine understanding of the city's diverse communities. After spending three years in Denver, she returned to Chicago, where she now lives in Roscoe Village with her husband and daughter. Her deep connection to the city, combined with her professional background, allows her to deliver a highly personalized experience for buyers and sellers alike — helping clients make smart, informed decisions and feel fully supported from start to finish.
