Hey there,

I’m Larissa—a twenty-something (it keeps changing every year) currently in Abbotsford, BC.

I’m a Preacher’s kid who used this space for years to write about what it was like growing up on the move and to form roots in a place I could always take with me: the blogosphere.

The Girl Writes was previously known as Papa is a Preacher. Instead of starting completely from scratch, I’m in the process of bringing new life to this space and update it to where my life is currently! If you’d like to know more about me, sift through the archives for a trip down memory lane.

The gist

Professionally: a graduate of Trinity Western University’s Media + Communications Program, a freelance writer and translator, internal PR professional, and a piano teacher on the side.

Personally: a newly-wed to my childhood crush, reader, vegan-wannabe, DIY attempter, full-time nester, and grandmother in training.
