I'm Lara, a PhD-trained anthropologist and research strategist working across digital health, emerging technology, and social impact.
For more than a decade, I've combined ethnographic research, fieldwork, and product thinking to help teams make sense of complex human realities and act on them. My work has taken me from remote care platforms and AI-enabled health tools to global health systems and digital experiences across four continents.
I've worked with founders, product teams, nonprofits, and international organizations, including leading $1.5M+ technology programs for WHO and the Gates Foundation across West and Central Africa. I work best where research is meant to shape the roadmap, not simply validate it.
