PLEASANT GROVE, Utah, Sept. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- doTERRA, the world's leading global essential oils company, is pleased to announce the appointment of Missy W. Larsen as its senior director of government relations and corporate partnerships. Larsen joins doTERRA directly after serving as chief of staff to Utah Attorney General Sean D. Reyes and the Utah attorney general's office. She is the founder of public relations agency INTREPID and co-founder of the Utah Refugee Connection.

Then in 2009, after mentoring a Somali-Bantu refugee family, she co-founded the Utah Refugee Coalition (now Utah Refugee Connection) as an organization to connect government agencies, non-profit organizations and businesses with a core mission of helping refugees integrate into Utah communities and build self-sufficiency.

"Missy is an incredible leader who has spearheaded significant improvements both in Utah and throughout the country," said Kirk Jowers, vice president of corporate relations and European markets at doTERRA.
