Lara's journey into the construction industry began in 2003 through her work on personal home renovations and bookkeeping. This hands-on experience, combined with her expertise in marketing, accounting, and design, paved the way for her to work with other builders and deepen her knowledge of the industry.

Driven by a vision to elevate the home-building experience, Lara co-founded Black Castle Homes, where she currently leads operations and client relations. Her passion for design continues to influence her work, and she enjoys contributing creatively whenever the opportunity arises.
