Meet Lara
Lara’s Bachelor of Arts (with Hons) saw her down a rich + varied path, including various roles across Auckland’s hospitality network + teaching at-risk youth in her spare time. She then moved on to digital advertising before bringing her skills to Joylab, where she now works as Event + Experience Manager across two establishments.
Lara’s work is all about the day-to-day moments - seeing her clients + customers give in to pure joy as the good times unfold around them; + she does this by paying attention to the small things which can transform an event. Outside of that, she loves spending time with her family + kids - especially in drumming up occasions for a good feast. Contentiously, her favourite drink is a lime milkshake; but if she’s not in the mood for questions, she’ll say tequila.
