Current Work
As a Privacy Manager, I work on governance, operations, and practical risk decisions that teams can actually use.
Privacy Manager | Lawyer in Colombia & Ontario | CIPP/C
Laura Olarte
This site is about two connected paths: working in privacy and sharing my journey from NCA candidate to lawyer in Ontario.
Privacy
Creating space for practical, human privacy conversations.
Community
I want to help make privacy feel less isolated by creating space for peers, newcomers, and professionals to learn from one another.
Perspective
My legal training across Colombia and Ontario shapes how I think about trust, accountability, and practical guidance.
NCA Journey
From Colombia to Ontario, the licensing path became part of my story.
My legal path began in Colombia and continued in Canada through the NCA and Ontario licensing process. I receive many questions from internationally trained lawyers trying to understand what that transition can feel like.

01
Arriving With a Legal Identity
Carrying my legal training from Colombia into a new professional landscape meant learning what translated, what needed rebuilding, and what was still mine.

02
Navigating the NCA Route
The process asked for structure and patience: understanding requirements, studying consistently, and staying grounded when the path felt unfamiliar.

03
Rebuilding in Ontario
Licensing was also a personal transition. It changed how I think about resilience, belonging, and the quiet work behind professional reinvention.

04
Making the Path Less Lonely
Now I want this site to become a place where privacy professionals and internationally trained lawyers can find context, encouragement, and community.
