Greetings! My name is Samantha Larson and I am currently a junior at LMU, focusing on earning my degree in communication studies with a minor in business administration. As a bay area native, coming to LMU three years ago was an exciting transition that has enabled me to follow what I’m passionate about, particularly studying public relations and marketing/advertisement. When I’m not studying, I love to spend my time watching critically-acclaimed films and shows (I am a keen Game of Thrones enthusiast), staying up to date on the world of cosmetics, and exploring the beautiful area surrounding LMU, including eating out at the various restaurants, attending concerts, and of course, going to the beach. In addition, I enjoy spending time doing philanthropic work with the Greek organizations on campus, as I am a member of Kappa Alpha Theta Women’s Fraternity and love to give back to the community while building rapport with others. Looking forward, I cannot wait to spend my second semester pursuing my passions and increasing my involvement on campus, and spend my summer traveling to Spetses, Greece through LMU’s Study Abroad program. All in all, being a Lion for the past three years has been nothing short of amazing, and I am excited to share my experiences as I continue on my journey at LMU!
