Hello! My name is Lauren, and I am a public historian based in Southern California, with a passion for making education and history more accessible to communities. My goal as a public historian is to connect people to their past strengthening our understanding of the society we leave in today.

My philosophy as a public historian is centered on creating inclusive, engaging, and dynamic spaces that connect people to history in meaningful ways. I believe that a relaxed approach, infused with creativity and innovation, is essential in today’s fast-paced world.

Public history thrives when it adapts to contemporary tools and trends, making it more accessible to diverse audiences. My experience in interpretation, public speaking, and community outreach has taught me the importance of listening to the public and addressing their specific needs and desires. Whether through interactive exhibits, educational programs, or community events, I aim to make museums and historic sites inviting spaces that foster a sense of wonder and connection.
