Katrina practices in the area of family law which includes divorce, child custody, adoption and child support. She has been named a Minnesota “Rising Star” seven times by Minnesota Law and Politics Magazine.

An Underwood, Minnesota, native, Katrina grew up on her family’s farm on Pleasant Lake near Underwood. Pemberton allows her to remain in her hometown, which she appreciates. Katrina received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communications from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, graduating summa cum laude in 2000, before moving to Kansas City, Missouri, where she received her Juris Doctorate from the University of Missouri in 2003. Katrina is Rule 114 Qualified Neutral and is licensed to practice in the state and federal courts of Minnesota and North Dakota.

Community leadership and volunteer work have always played an important role in Katrina's life. She is currently the adult leader of the local Sverdrup 4-H club and the Chair of Pemberton’s Community Service Committee.

Katrina worked as a summer associate at Pemberton while pursuing her legal degree, putting her education into practice and solidifying her desire to return home. While her heart is in Minnesota, Katrina's first passion is traveling. She has experienced many parts of the world—from Venezuela to Kenya and beyond. Katrina especially loves to travel through the eyes of her children.  She and her husband Lee Larsen live east of Underwood with their two daughters.
