She has over 20 years of professional experience, holds a master’s degree in in international and community development, and has completed significant training in healthcare systems improvement. Lara has dedicated her career since that time to building and strengthening scalable health system innovations focused on improved clinical outcomes, cost efficiency and improved patient experience.

She is passionate about leveraging existing capacity in people and systems to generate better results for equity seeking populations and has demonstrated her commitment through both her professional and voluntary work since the age of 19. As an individual, Lara has taken pride in her own survivorship efforts and cycles 10,000km every year to manage the long-term side effects from cancer treatment and prevention surgeries. Lara is invested in the community, and is a volunteer peer mentor with Immerman’s Angels, an active board member with AVI Community & Health services, a patient ambassador with AYACAN, and a research advocate with FORCE. Lara aims to bridge the divide between patients and the healthcare system, identifying and strengthening solutions that will support the sustainability of patient-centered public healthcare.
