Prior to launching e-Council Inc., Lauren obtained her J.D. from Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, and went on to secure licenses to practice in both Canada and the United States.

Because she believes fiercely in the importance of giving back, Lauren attaches a social component to everything she does. In 2013, she lost her beloved father and hero to ALS, one of the most profound events in her life, second only to the birth of her son in 2010. These events drive her volunteer and philanthropic work, which includes significant financial and other types of support for Israel, the Jewish Federation, local synagogues and the ALS Association. e-Council Inc. also sponsors a variety of events in support of Lauren’s charitable goals. 

In the rare moments when she has spare time, Lauren enjoys reading, travelling, working out/swimming, and spending time with family and friends. She also tries to learn something new each week by attending events, participating in classes, and a variety of hands-on learning activities. Three of her favorite sayings are “If you can dream it, you can do it,” (Disney) and “If you will it, it is no dream.” (Herzl) and “Quality is much better than Quantity” (Steve Jobs).
