Lauren Magana is a Licensed Master Social Worker with over seven years of care management experience. She was inspired to become a social worker after watching her mother find her passion in hospice work. She began working with the LGBQTIA+ population in Atlanta serving unhoused youth in their journey towards identity building, stability, and life skills. She then pivoted into a combination of specialized healthcare and geriatrics while working in a skilled nursing facility and long-term care. From there, she worked alongside a team of attorneys in Elder Care Law, helping to guide families through aging, estate planning, and Medicaid law. Afterwards, she worked as both a hospice social worker and an Intensive Outpatient Therapist helping individuals, groups, and families via telehealth. Furthering her specialized knowledge, she explored chronic illness social work in renal/dialysis case management. With her wide range of experience, she now serves as a geriatric care manager.

Not Your Average Joe was inspired by Amy's friend, Joe. Joe lived alone and was trying to manage his own physical, emotional, and healthcare needs. However, the demands grew too difficult for him to handle by himself. Amy was able to step in respectfully to provide much-needed resources and the proper care to fill in the gaps. As a result, Joe's quality of life improved significantly. From Joe, and many clients since, Amy has learned the importance of dignity and grace when assisting others--the true foundation of her calling to serve others well by going "above and beyond."
