A French Eye for Detail
Originally from Paris, Lara relocated to South Florida in 2017 to attend Florida Atlantic University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences. She arrived planning to pursue medical school.
After graduating, Lara spent five years working as a veterinary technician in emergency medicine, much of it on overnight shifts at a busy hospital. The work taught her composure under pressure, comfort with clinical complexity, and an instinct for reading people in difficult moments.
In 2025, Lara completed Harvard's online certificate program in business analytics, economics, and financial accounting, sharpening the strategic and quantitative side of her work.
At Parallels, Lara leads marketing and brand communications, translating the firm's clinical depth into language that resonates with the discerning families and institutions it serves. Her hybrid background lets her operate fluently between the precision of healthcare and the bespoke expectations of an elite clientele.
Outside of work, Lara is most often at Delray Beach with a book.
