Education: Lara received her Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Occupational Therapy in 1996 from the University of Kansas.

Experience: Lara has been fortunate to be able to have worked with different patient populations as she began her career including Acute care in Hospitals and Nursing home care before being able to find the right stepping stone to follow her heart and transition to Pediatrics in 2002. She has extensive experience with early intervention aged population (0-3 years) having worked with the BCW programs in several counties in Metro Atlanta for over 12 years. She has a passion for children of all ages and is grateful to be a part of the incredible group of therapists and staff since joining the team in 2020. She is humbled and excited to be able to help children with all kinds of developmental challenges learn and grow in their own way, step by step, by providing highly professional and quality OT therapy to the children and supportive care to their families. She strongly believes that every child is a blessing from God and she loves to help each child thrive.

Free time: In her free time, Lara enjoys spending time with friends, working in her flower beds as well as being very active in her church.
