Lauren Morley Ruppel is a native New Orleanian with a passion for helping people reach their goal of homeownership. Her 15 years of experience in retail banking management and sales, with knowledge of mortgage loans and business, and history of working in real estate, give her a deep understanding of the perspective of JPFA’s lenders as well as realtors and prospective homeowners.

Educated at the Academy of the Sacred Heart School and University of New Orleans, she brings a locally-grounded perspective to her work for Jefferson Parish, where she lives with her husband, Brett, and their three children. In her free time, she enjoys volunteering at her childrens’ school, supporting their extracurricular activities, and taking family vacations.

Lauren notes, “The best part of working with the JPFA is that I get to work with a great team, partner with the lenders and realtors in our community, and help the members of our community realize the dream of owning their own home.”
