ABOUT
Lauren Levins
Meet the CEO, Lauren Levins, MPA, M.ED, ILD, an Alabama native known for her resilience, determination, and outgoing spirit. At the age of 38, during the height of the Coronavirus pandemic, Lauren embarked on a full-time journey into entrepreneurship, driven by her passion for education and cross-cultural learning. With 12 years as an educator under her belt, she crafted curriculum and programs that continue to inspire students today.
Lauren's academic journey at the University of Alabama, where she earned two bachelor's degrees in just 3.5 years, including one in Spanish, sparked her love for international travel and languages. Little did she know that a semester in Spain would sow the seeds for what would become IgniteED and her thriving career in real estate consulting.
For the past 8.5 years, Lauren has excelled as a licensed real estate professional, guiding clients through residential and commercial ventures with expert advice and insight. Her dedication to community and business excellence earned her the prestigious 2024 Member of the Year award from the Atlanta Black Chambers.
Beyond accolades, Lauren sees her journey as a spiritual calling—to connect, educate, and uplift others. Through her ventures, HayDrews & Co, IgniteED, and GabGurl Communications, she continues to fulfill this purpose, making a tangible impact on those she serves.
