Lauren Goodman is the Supervising Producer of Media and Exhibitions at Revs Institute in Naples, Florida. Widely regarded as one of the top automotive museums in the world, Revs Institute is dedicated to the study of the automobile and offers visitors an exceptional opportunity to view over 100 of the most influential automobiles of our time. After earning her MFA in screenwriting from Florida State University’s College of Motion Picture Arts, Lauren spent the next six years in Hollywood in creative development for film and television, as well as in production for TV and new media advertising. A chance visit to Revs Institute led to volunteering at the museum and researching the history of women in racing. She has presented at the Argetsinger Symposium on International Motor Racing History and is a guest cohost on the Break/Fix podcast from Gran Touring Motorsports.
