Hi, I’m Lauren!

I’m a document control specialist with 15+ years of hands-on experience across oil & gas, construction, and other highly regulated industries. I started from the ground up - no formal training, just curiosity and a relentless drive to do things better.

Today, I help teams simplify complex processes, organize with confidence, and unlock the power of well-run document management systems.

From Field Camps to Frontline Leadership

My journey began as a certified drafting technician, but quickly evolved. I took on roles like Project Coordinator, Quality Control Coordinator, and eventually Document Controller - leading teams, solving systems bottlenecks, and navigating everything from corporate boards to remote work camps in Northern Alberta.

That hands-on experience is so many diverse roles shaped my methodology. One built not on theory, but on years of in-the-trenches insight, tested under pressure, and proven to work.

Why Syntari? Why Now?

After years of mentoring teams and optimizing processes, I saw a gap: professionals doing critical work without the tools, training, or confidence they deserve. So I created Syntari - an education platform for people who wear multiple hats but still want to get things right.

My programs combine structure, simplicity, and strategic thinking to help you master the core principles of document control and apply them with confidence; no fluff, no filler, and no need to reinvent the wheel.

Education Is My Passion - Both as a Student and a Teacher

I believe learning should be accessible, practical, and empowering. I’ve earned certifications in both document control and Leadership & Management development - not because I needed more titles, but because I believe in staying sharp, always improving, and passing that clarity on to others.

So whether you’re new to document control or just ready to stop spinning your wheels, I’m here to make the journey easier and a whole lot more effective.

Let’s turn your everyday tasks into powerful proof of your value.

With the right tools and training, you’ll master document control and show up as the asset your team can count on and always turns to.

Ah, the mountains. My happy place.

When I’m not busy working, you can find me exploring our gorgeous backyard, the Canadian Rockies. As my coffee mug accurately states - the mountains are my happy place.

And I mean it. Not only do I enjoy the adrenaline and accomplishment that comes from summiting massive mountain tops and pushing myself to exhaustion over week-long backcountry trips around the world, but it’s also where I do a lot of creative thinking.

Thinking that led me to pursue my dreams and start Syntari.

After all, inspiring places lead to inspiring thoughts.
