Lara, Senior Learning Designer at Hungry Minds

What Lara brings to the table

Lara is a master at turning complex, technical material into clear, streamlined learning. She once condensed more than 80 equipment manuals into six focused modules, and she brings that same discipline to every brief. On health and science programs, she’s a rare find: a doctor who designs learning. She speaks your clinical experts’ language, so reviews stay focused and the details are right. She checks every fact with a clinician’s eye. Then she turns tricky science into explanations your audience can act on, from specialists to carers and the public. Lara’s talents reach well beyond health, too, and she has led programs on workplace gender equity and equipment safety. She’s a skilled writer and editor, and her clean, cohesive visuals make your content more accessible, more memorable and true to your brand. Experts and stakeholders at every level find her easy to work with.

Experience and qualifications

Lara has worked in clinical roles, public health and medical communications, for government and commercial organisations in Australia and Europe. At Monash University she earned a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (Honours) and a Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours). She also holds a Master of Public Health from Monash and Fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia. She has studied digital graphic design at RMIT, too.
