Our Operations department in Manhattan welcomed Lauren in April 2020. Her duties include back-end client support such as client bill payment, setting up client accounts, and other administrative responsibilities.

Lauren possesses a natural talent for math—a “numbers brain,” as she calls it—which led her to a financial industry career.

“Accounting is a perfect fit for me because it utilizes logic and problem-solving. I love the puzzle of it, and the satisfaction of making things balance.”

She earned her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a major in Accounting from Kansas State University. Lauren earned her Certified Trust Operations Professional® (CTOP) certification in 2023 after meeting all requirements and passing the exam. Prior to joining our team, she was Accounting Assistant―Payables at McCullough Development, Inc. in Manhattan.

Lauren grew up in Manhattan, and although she aspires to live in the mountains one day, there is no other place than The Little Apple she’d like to call ‘home’.  In her free time, Lauren likes to hang out with her family, hike the Konza Prairie, and cheer on the ‘Cats at K-State football games.
