Work Hard/Play Hard 

Lara is originally from Kentucky and is a proud Kentucky Wildcats fan. She loves sour gummy candy and traveling, especially to Hilton Head Island, and internationally to London. Now a New Yorker, one of Lara’s favorite pastimes is going to the theatre. But most of all, she enjoys spending time with her family.
