Today I held a series of meetings with Lauren and onboarded her on:

• Toxic Exposure
• VADs Design System
• Collab Cycle 101
• Content Guidelines

Lauren has access to Figma and Mural. She is not SAC adjudicated yet and doesn't have access to GitHub so I can't set her up with the VFS team member template. She has not met with Jared yet for a walkthrough of the 526.

I have another check-in with her scheduled for Monday to help her with any of these outstanding items.
