Lauren McClellan

Lauren hails from Atlanta, GA and currently resides in the Upstate of South Carolina, where she enjoys a variety of outdoor activities afforded by the surrounding lakes and Appalachian foothills. In addition to her degrees in Special Education and Educational Leadership, she has gained valuable experience working in the K12 environment through teaching, developing curriculum, managing special education efforts, and supporting career exploration and transition for students from the high school setting into their post-secondary opportunities. For the past 6+ years Lauren has worked in the higher education setting managing student support and accommodations, expanding institution wide access and inclusion efforts, and developing transition supports for students starting or re-starting their college journey. Lauren is passionate about supporting students as they explore college and career options and transition into the next phase of their journey. She believes that by equipping students (and their support network!) with the knowledge and understanding of “how to college” and use the tools, supports, and resources available to them, we can promote growth, success, and an overall amazing college experience. When not working with students, Lauren can be found adventuring with her two boys and husband, trying new foods, or playing with her dogs.
