CITY OF WHITTLESEAExcellent. We couldn’t have been happier with Lauren’s presentation. She is so natural, professional, inspirational; and is so generous with her time and her gold medal. It was great to have photographs and autographs as a memento. An Australian to be proud of. Feedback has been excellent, and I would recommend Lauren to anyone.
