Larissa Nellessen I was born and raised in Mckinleyville and had my 30th birthday in November. I found my way to Lima's Pharmacy in 1996 a month after my brother passed away. This job turned out to be a great change at the perfect time and I never expected it to blossom into so much more. During my eleven year journey at Limas I have progressed from a counter clerk to a licensed certified compounding technician. I am professional in my demeaner and accountable for my actions. I love knowing that the compounding I do on a daily basis makes a great difference in the lives of our patients. On a more personal level, I love my family and friends they make me who I am. Throughout the sport seasons I'm mostly a benchwarmer for all of my nieces, nephews and friends. I count down the days to winter weekend shopping trips and skiing the slopes. For the past couple of years I have picked up golfing and often wonder why I enjoy such a frustrating sport. I am always looking for a new adventure . It has been seven years now that I have been playing recreational volleyball. However my true talent lies secretly within the game of ping pong! These eleven years at Lima's has been wonderful, although you can't say that I dont look forward to the Friday nights out.
