Larissa Lopes

Major: International Affairs and Economics

From: New Jersey/Brazil

Class of 2018

Currently, Larissa tutors at local elementary schools through America Reads. Seeing the children grow and become more motivated with each tutor session is something that she sees as inspiring. Working with and helping others has always been close to her heart. In high school, Larissa did over 50 hours of community service each year. She believes that giving back is something very important that everyone should do. This innate desire to give back is why she became interested in the LIME program. She is excited and hopes that she can impact the Malagasy students and be impacted by them too.
