Lauren Pitts, Office Administrator, keeps things under control at the front. Come through the door and you’ll be greeted by her, and you might encounter a friendly call or email. Lauren came to us from a veterinary office setting, where she worked for two years. Prior to that, she worked as an assistant manager at a large horse boarding and riding lesson stable in Maryland. She earned a B.S degree in Equine Studies from Virginia Intermont College in 2006. Some of her hobbies include horseback riding, exercising and fitness, reading and playing “aunt” to her roommate’s two cats, Rustie and Sara. An avid animal enthusiast, Lauren hopes to one day have a family of multiple animals… cats, dogs and horses alike!
Scott Shields, Bookkeeper, keeps the MacLab books in order. After all, we have to pay our bills too, right? Scott takes care of these things and has been doing so for a long time. After earning a degree in PoliSci from UC Irvine, Scott moved east on a White House Internship. Although exciting, he realized that one could not live on politics alone and got a “real” job. After working as the business manager for a design firm for more than five years, Scott began keeping the books in order at MacLab.
