At the Lab, our Project Officer is a passionate development practitioner with a background in public health and international relations. The team at the Lab loves 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 holds a Bachelor of Applied Public Health and a 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 developed strong expertise in writing, analysis, and project management through her work across the Lab’s platforms. She played a key role in delivering the recent Pulse Check x Southeast Asia | Iran War Impacts and is central to producing the Lab’s fortnightly Intel. Laetitia also provides critical behind-the-scenes coordination for Dialogues and Situation Rooms, ensuring their smooth delivery.
