Bio
Sharon Woodward
I've worked with Lauren for three years and would heartily recommend her to any employer. She has an exceptional eye for detail and will go above and beyond to make sure projects she is working on can be the best that they can. She is adept at juggling multiple priorities and asking probing questions that make you think and assess your plans. She's taught me to challenge assumptions and always focus on the audience we are communicating to and with.
Katie Penfold
Lauren is a highly organised, detail orientated, operations directing machine. She is a very skilled problem solver with an eye for spotting and avoiding the various pitfalls that may come hurtling her way. She is very mature in her management approach, diligent beyond reproach and immensely hard working. A pleasure to work with and an asset to any team.
