I'm Anthony Lara, a chef and social psychologist from Colombia, now living in Barcelona. My expertise spans Mediterranean and Colombian cuisine. Beyond the culinary world, I have worked extensively in social psychology, aiding homeless individuals and underprivileged children in Medellin. Fluent in Spanish, English, French, and Catalan, I'm passionate about integrating my diverse skills to advance mental wellness.

Since March 2025, I’ve been working as Assistant Community Builder at Effective Altruism Barcelona. In this role, I support event planning, onboarding new members, and expanding our local impact through partnerships and outreach. I'm especially focused on increasing engagement among underrepresented communities, and on making EA more accessible in Spanish.

I’m keen to connect with other EA group organizers and community builders to share insights and best practices. I’d love advice on growing local groups, improving onboarding systems, and making EA more inclusive and engaging across languages and cultures.

I'm happy to share my experience onboarding new members, planning events, and engaging communities within EA. I can also provide feedback on community strategy and multilingual outreach.
