about larissa
Larissa grew up in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, close to beautiful Lake Michigan. She spent much time going to Milwaukee Brewers baseball games with her parents and younger brothers and visiting her family's cabin in the woods of Northern Wisconsin. Larissa graduated from Belhaven University in Jackson, Mississippi, with a degree in Biblical Studies and a minor in dance. During her time at Belhaven, RUF was her consistent community and a great source of encouragement. Larissa served as an RUF Intern at Millersville University in Lancaster Pennsylvania for two years. She loved getting to know students individually, hearing their stories, and encouraging them in their lives and faith. A highlight of the internship was leading women's Bible studies and watching students grow in their knowledge and love for God and His word through studying the Bible together.
Larissa now serves as a Ministry Fellow for RUF, working as an Intern Care Assistant. In this role, she gets to help equip and minister to Interns, encouraging and praying for them as they minister to students.
