Larissa Beatty

Larissa grew up in various towns in the shadow of the Southern Utah mountains. She found a passion for writing people’s stories as a reporter and editor for SUU News while earning her associate degree at Southern Utah University. Larissa served a mission in Lubbock, Texas, where she was constantly inspired by the way education impacted the people she met and served. After her mission, she transferred to Brigham Young University to pursue a bachelor’s degree in English. Larissa is grateful for the opportunity BYU-Pathway Worldwide has given her to share the blessing of higher education. When she isn’t writing, Larissa can usually be found hiking the nearest mountain or creating a new food dish with her friends.
