Bio

Hello, my name is Larissa and my goal in life is to learn as many languages as possible so that I can communicate with every person I meet within my lifetime. My native language is Spanish, but I also know English and American Sign Language. I have a colorful background with a plethora of experience ranging from being president of my local American Sign Language Club and ASL Honor Society to being a Master Chief Petty Officer in NJROTC. I've volunteered for many organizations such as The Purple Door, Toys for Tots, and my local Deaf and Hard of Hearing Center. I believe communication is vital for humanity and everyone deserves accessibility and to be understood. I want to be the change I want to see in the world.
