Lara M. Sabanosh

Lara Sabanosh, author of Caged, has dedicated her life to helping others. Beginning in her youth as a volunteer and continuing throughout her career, she has counseled families, individuals, and children—civilian and military—in finding and reaching their emotional, educational, or professional goals. All while undergoing her own struggles with domestic abuse. While serving as Director for Fleet and Family Services during her time in Guantanamo Bay, she felt blessed to have assisted others in the journey of becoming their best selves.

Throughout her career, she has found solace and joy in her civil service. Although Lara has since retired, she hopes to help others again by sharing her story and giving voice to the topic of domestic abuse and the broken system that desperately needs repair.

Regardless of her struggles, one thing has been constant throughout Lara’s journey: the pride, respect, and love that she has for her daughters, who have overcome the same trauma and challenges described within the pages of Caged. They have channeled this experience to becoming strong and independent women that seek careers in bettering the lives of others.

Lara now spends her time in Pensacola, FL with her loving family, dogs, and grand puppies. She’s learning to move forward with hope that one day, she will no longer be caged by her past.
