At TactStaff Education, nothing makes us happier than seeing educators return for another school year. We’re excited to spotlight Lauren, a virtual Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) who is beginning her second year with TactStaff.

After completing a successful first year in a contract school-based role, Lauren chose to continue her journey with TactStaff, and we’re honored to be part of her career.

Finding Flexibility While Making an Impact

As a virtual school-based Speech-Language Pathologist, Lauren enjoys the balance that contract work provides.

“I enjoy building relationships with my students, collaborating with educators, while experiencing the flexibility and variety that contracting provides.”

Like many contract education professionals, Lauren has found that working in schools allows her to make a meaningful difference in students’ lives while enjoying the flexibility to build a career that fits her goals.

Why Lauren Chose to Return to TactStaff

At TactStaff, we believe every educator deserves to feel supported—not just before their assignment begins, but throughout the entire school year.
