Professional experience
At Story Management we help businesses and individuals care for and share their information.
Lauren is a professional historian, and librarian, with a specialist knowledge of the less dusty and boring of archives (but often dirtier and smellier) - including motoring, food, and wine history.
In order to share your story it needs to be cared for: stored appropriately to limit damage and ensure future preservation, listed so you know what precious stories you hold, sorted so you know where to find and return things, and finally it needs to be shared in an engaging and meaningful way.
Clients have included the Royal Automobile Association of South Australia, TREENET Avenues of Honour, Kay Brothers Amery Winery, Australian National Motor Museum, Adelaide Central Market, and the South Australian Country Women's Association.
