As the old proverb goes, “good things come in small packages.”

Well, hello! I’m Larissa.

(…My friends call me Larry).

I’m a 5’2” parcel of insatiable curiosity, a ton of cultural know-how, a healthy dose of hustle, and an ability to roll with the punches you have to see to believe.

I’m a food-centric creative and cultural strategist currently studying for my Master’s in World Food Cultures & Mobility at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Piemonte, Italy. I’m also writing a book about ketchup, gastro-diplomacy, and Asian-American identity.
