At the Lab, our Project Assistant is a passionate emerging development practitioner with a background in public health and international relations. The team at the Lab love Laetitia’s ability to dive into anything we throw at her with her ‘give-it-a-go’ attitude. We love her ability to combine academic knowledge with international and local experience. Secretly, Laetitia always thought she’d be an Olympic athlete. As it turns out, working at the Lab and in international development requires just as much endurance. When she’s not working at the Lab, you’ll find Laetitia by the beach, procrastinating going for a run, or trying to find the best deals on Skyscanner.

In addition to a career in international development, Laetitia recently completed her Bachelor of Applied Public Health and Bachelor of Global Studies. She is pursuing her passion to address health inequities and systemic barriers both within Australia and abroad. In a previous life, Laetitia worked in donor relations and gender equality, disability and social inclusion with NGOs in Australia and Cambodia. 

Laetitia has honed her writing, analysis, and management skills working on a range of the Lab’s platforms including the Intel, the Situation Room and the Readout.
