Hello! My is Brianna Larson, and I live in Northeast Arkansas with my husband Nick, our son Deyn, and our kitty cat, Keela. I am an Assistant Professor of Theatre and Dance, but I also love my other full-time job of being a mommy and wife.
What is your connection to MMIHS and/or why do you want to be on the board?
My son, Deyn was diagnosed with MMIHS at 2 weeks old, and the initial information we were given was quite terrifying. One of the first moments of hope for us was finding the foundation's website and reading the information and stories shared on it.
Fun Fact i.e. What are your hobbies, where have you traveled, do you have pets, etc.
Since being married, we've lived in North Dakota, Virginia, and Arkansas. I love going out dancing, mainly Salsa, Bachata, and variations of Swing. I also love waltzing, but have never found a social dance night for that. We have a tortie cat named Keela. Every summer (as a family) we attend a week long Folk Dance camp in Kentucky called Kentucky Dance Institute (KDI).
Thank you! By spending time on this website you are helping further spread awareness of MMIHS.
