Lauren Galloway is one of our newest educators to join the 180 Degrees team! With a strong background in corporate administration, she eventually shifted gears and jumped into the world of public education. Lauren came to realize her passion lies with the youth of today. Her stirring for today’s young adults dates back to her high school relationships and personal experiences. Such events set her on a particular trajectory, which significantly impacted what drives her desire to connect with those who might feel unseen or option-less in their adolescent world.

Lauren is married to her sweet husband, Cody, and they have three children. She enjoys cheering her kids on with their extra-curricular interests and traveling around the world with her husband. Lauren also enjoys fitness and is a HUGE movie buff!
