Larissa Marler - Accounting - Coeur d'Alene, ID
Meet Larissa, a delightfully quirky individual whose heart belongs to her German Shorthaired Pointer. She loves her dog so much that she often fantasizes about transforming into a GSP herself—because who wouldn’t want to run around chasing squirrels and living the dream of perpetual snacks? Larissa rolls around town in her beloved little Jeep, a vehicle she adores almost as much as her boyfriend. In fact, if her Jeep had a personality, it might be the favorite child! Her work routine is a masterpiece of minimalism: she shows up on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, often plotting her next nap while pretending to be busy. If naps were an Olympic sport, she’d definitely take home the gold. When she’s not working or napping, you’ll find her doodling on metal cups like a modern-day Picasso, transforming plain mugs into masterpieces that are probably too cool to drink from. Hiking? No thanks! Larissa would rather have a face painted like a majestic butterfly at any available booth, declaring herself the queen of the fairgrounds instead. With her wonderfully weird personality and constant smile, Larissa is the life of the party—even if that party is just her, her dog, and a cozy couch!
