About Lauren Daly

At first, I thought I wanted to be a doctor. I took AP Biology in high school and fell in love with science, but by the time I was accepted to medical school I had teased out what truly attracted me to the medical field—the chance to advocate for the wellbeing of others. As it turns out, there are many ways to do that professionally ‍ Ultimately, I decided to be proud of my acceptance into medical school while also side-stepping the amazing opportunity. I went on to complete my PhD in Education instead—why? Because in this digital world we are all learning all the time! Sometimes our learning experiences are sub-par, and it becomes necessary to ask for better materials/guidance. I\'ve noticed most people don\'t like to rock the boat, but I love it. My training and personality position me to champion those around me, making me a great advocate for my clients. If we\'re being honest, spending 4⃣0⃣ years at the same company before retiring just isn’t an option for most of us. This means no matter where I work the majority of those around me will be on a journey to learn new skills and information. I can now help with that! 🤝🧠 In addition to my formal education, my love for psychometrics and introspection means I know a lot about myself and others. I am proud of the EQ skills I have developed after more than one-on-one meetings with students and clients over my work history. Being an ISTP 8w7 also means I welcome the hard conversations most professionals shy away from in the workplace. I am honest and direct, decisive under pressure, and show up with a positive, can-do attitude. I continuously seek ways to make things run more efficiently and have been known to pursue cross-training opportunities so I can jump in and get my hands dirty when an “all hands on deck” moment strikes. Boldly bringing order to a moment of chaotic crisis is my happy place. By all means, reach out if you want to talk about hacking college, psychometrics, or career prep!🤓 I’m on the edge of my seat for: advances in the acceptance of third party educational entities, the increase in popularity of scrum master roles, engagement and retention strategies in higher ed, the long-term implications of the MD/DO residency merger, interdisciplinary studies degree performance in the job market, microcredentialing, and emerging career trends.
