Meet the TeamLauren Gurskeagency owner
Meet Lauren Gurske, the heart and soul of the Lauren Gurske Insurance Agency. Born and raised in Spokane Valley, Lauren's roots run deep in the Pacific Northwest. From her formative years attending University High School to her current residence in Greenbluff with her husband, Alex, and their three lively children, Lauren's journey is a testament to the power of connection and community.
Growing up, Lauren's life was a whirlwind of activity, marked by her involvement in sports and extracurriculars. As a dedicated athlete, she travelled the Pacific Northwest for soccer games, gymnastics competitions, and cheerleading events. These experiences instilled in her a sense of discipline, teamwork, and determination that continues to shape her approach to life and business.
Now, as a mother, Lauren finds joy in nurturing her own children's passions. Most weekends are spent cheering at soccer games for the kids and herself. These moments on the sidelines and in the stands further cement their bond as a family, celebrating victories and supporting each other through every challenge.
Having grown up making unforgettable memories at the family cabin, Lauren and Alex are thrilled to provide their kids with the same opportunity to experience the magic of Priest Lake. Nestled within the serene beauty of the area, the family's cabin serves as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Surrounded by towering pines and crystal-clear waters, it's a place where they can truly unwind and spend quality time with family and friends creating unforgettable memories.
For Lauren, family is not just a priority - it's the driving force behind her business philosophy. With a deep understanding of the importance of family dynamics, she approaches each client with empathy and care, tailoring her services to meet their unique needs.
