About me!
Hello! My name is Lauren Herrera. This is my 2nd year at Troy Craughwell Elementary School, and my 8th year overall as a School Social Worker.
I currently live in Shorewood, but have been a Joliet resident most of my life. I attended Holy Family School in Shorewood for grade school, followed by Joliet Catholic Academy, the University of St. Francis, and finally Aurora University. I live with my husband Dan, our two children Juliana (5), Daniel (2), Dominic (10 months), and our two dog Nala. In my off time, I love to spend time with my family outside, roam the aisles at Target, and try out new restaurants!
At Troy Craughwell, I love working with students, and helping them reach their greatest potential! I work with all students in PreK through 4th grades. Students often come to see me when facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, school refusal, separation/divorce, death in the family, homelessness, etc. I also work with staff and families so that students are supported in all parts of their daily life. As a School Social Worker, I also work with students who receive services through IEP's and 504 plans. I can't wait to work with your child! :)
