Before moving to Florida in 1996, Lauren had been working in the hospitality industry in large hotels in Manhattan, New York, where she polished her excellent customer service skills. From 1996 to 2009 Lauren worked with kids with disabilities. As a child, she loved petting turtles, dogs, and kittens; she has been a big pet lover her entire life. Moreover, Lauren always had a special interest in learning and expanding her knowledge about pet care behavior, and that's how she ended up becoming a part of one of the best veterinary clinics in the Fort Lauderdale area. She joined Animal Wellness Clinic of Tamarac as a receptionist in 2009. “I am always happy to come into Animal Wellness Clinic of Tamarac. It doesn’t feel like a job, mainly because of the built-up relationships and attachment I have grown towards our clients and small patients who have been coming to us for years,” she says. Lauren is a proud furry mummy of 5 cats, 3 dogs, and a bird. She is very close with her sister Ellen and her nephews Douglas and Danielle who lives just 5 minutes away from her in Tamarac. She also loves reading mystery books and going to the beach.
