Larissa’s Personal Bio

Born in Cuba into a Navy family, Larissa developed an early love for travel, culture, and exploration. She has a fierce desire to see the world, embracing every opportunity to experience new places and perspectives. 

When she’s not working, Larissa enjoys spending time with her family and her beloved dog, Major. She has a deep appreciation for animals of all kinds and finds joy in any activity that allows her to interact with them. A lover of cold weather, swimming, reading, and music, she values both adventure and relaxation, always seeking new experiences and opportunities to learn.

Fun Fact

Larissa’s passion for animals extends beyond just her love for pets—she dreams of one day visiting wildlife sanctuaries around the world to learn more about conservation efforts and animal welfare initiatives.
