People

A creative and artistic mind, Larissa has a deep passion for people, understanding the world around her and depicting that world through storytelling. After growing up in Pennsylvania, she relocated to Phoenix, AZ where she became invested in the world of theater both on and off-stage as a playwright and actor. With the belief that expression and sharing one’s voice is life to the soul, Larissa has continued pursuing avenues in theater arts since relocating to New Mexico in 2023. She extends her passion for teamwork and community to her role as Receptionist at FBT, where she intentionally greets everyone with a warm smile and helping hand. Larissa understands she is often the first point of contact for the organization and doesn’t take that responsibility lightly. She works to ensure everyone feels valued and seen, whether they are a client, vendor or passer-by. While Larissa spends much of her time surrounded by people—whether in the office or the theater—she enjoys spending her free moments immersed in dusty, obscure history books or people watching to fuel her writing endeavors.
