Kristen Larsen

Speech-Language Pathology

Kristin Larsen is a second-year graduate student in Speech-Language Pathology at Utah State University. She has a strong passion for supporting individuals with special needs and their families. She grew up in a family deeply connected to the disability community, including a brother with profound developmental delays, and is now raising four children—one of whom has ADHD. These life experiences have shaped her dedication to advocacy and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Kristin has lived all over the US and even outside of it. She currently lives with her family in Hyrum, Utah, where life is full of school activities, shuttling children, and plenty of pickleball matches. When not studying or chasing her kids, she enjoys reading and board game nights. Through URLEND, she hopes to deepen her knowledge of leadership in healthcare systems and to contribute meaningfully to a more inclusive and supportive world for all individuals with disabilities.
