Larissa joined the Advocate in the fall of 2023 (8th grade). Since then, she has been one of the Advocate’s few photographers. She hopes to inspire new artists and photographers through her position as the Photography and Graphics Editor. As a faithful member of Bird Club, her favorite bird is a Western Kingbird (a.k.a. WEKI). She spends much of her time sketching in the Art Building and can be seen around campus taking photos of various community events. She is also a member of Cool Breeze, does karate, and is on the yearbook staff. In her free time, she enjoys watching walls (which is like watching paint dry, but the wall has already completed the drying process).
