Originally from San Diego, California, Larissa met her husband, Dillon, while he was serving in the U.S. Navy. As a proud military spouse, she understands the unique challenges and triumphs that come with military life. After years dedicated to her family and community, Larissa earned her Bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management from National University in San Diego.

Now living in Berthoud, Colorado, Larissa and her husband—a retired veteran who works for an aerospace company—are raising their two children while navigating civilian life together. Her experiences have inspired a passion for supporting veteran and first responder families, especially women and mothers, through health, community, and connection.

Recently, Larissa has also focused on her personal wellness journey, losing over 100 pounds through diet and exercise.

Larissa and her husband enjoy sports, connecting with other veteran families, and finding purpose in helping others thrive beyond service. She loves yoga, sunshine, and spending time with her family.
