About Bri Larson

ā€œShe looks like a mommyā€

I have some artwork from when I was in Kindergarten of a self portrait. The teacher asked everyone to draw what you wanted to be when you grew up. I drew myself with very long legs. I wrote, ā€œA mommy.ā€ So I guess this has always been my quest, to be a mommy, although all through childhood I wanted to be a news anchor and producer.

I have two sons, Barrett and Joel, and Iā€™m married to *my guy*, Josh. Weā€™ve also got two dogs, Great Pyrenees mix Luna and English Cream Golden Retriever Sonny. I absolutely adore dogs. (And Golden Retrievers are my sweet spot.) We live in Iowa and enjoy a good (hefty) dose of TV when we catch a break.

If itā€™s a project, Iā€™ll manage it

In the professional world I excel at digital project management. I joined the Hy-Vee IT project management team in 2021. I help out in the digital vertical with web design, mobile app development and software implementation projects. Previously, I worked in digital project/people management at Strategic America helping clients redesign their websites and organize large website programs. My PM style is process-oriented, organized and balanced with great communication. Iā€™m motivated to work with kind, smart and creative people, and am always ready for that next challenge.

Software for the pups (and kitties)

Josh and I startedĀ BarkpassĀ in 2019. Itā€™s a SaaS product that allows cities and organizations to administer dog park registrations and pet licenses. We just unleashed a new version of the software and an updated marketing site in 2021. Iā€™m excited to grow our client base and make registering for dog parks and pet licenses an easy experience!

When itā€™s time to unwind

Iā€™m always running out my own clock and television is my little oasis from it all. I love me an endless amount of The Office, Parks and Rec, Portlandia, and Will & Grace. I like finding a great new show to watch and sharing the good word with fellow TV lovers.

Iā€™d describe myself as a comedy enthusiast and love attending a good improv show. I even have a couple characters up my sleeve for when the occasion is just right!

I like to be healthy. From eating well (or attempting to eat well) to yoga and working out. Iā€™m always trying to fix my chronically aching lower back. And leg. And foot. Ice pack anyone?

Lastly, I do love dogs. (I know, I already mentioned it! Iā€™m really fascinated by learning about dog breeds and all their history, too.) Iā€™ll rarely miss a daily walk with my pups. And believe you me, I tell them, ā€œI love you, youā€™re amazing, youā€™re so beautifulā€ 5,000 times a day.
