Karin Larissa Herrera Aguilar (born 25 July 1967)[1] is a Guatemalan biologist, professor, sociologist, and politician who is currently serving as the 18th vice president of Guatemala.

[1][4] Her father was a lawyer from Huehuetenango who served in 1976 as the titular judge of the Departmental Court of First Instance of Petén, while her mother is a housewife from Jutiapa.

Herrera has remarked that her mother was conservative and anti-communist but would later change her ideological positions after reading the book Massacres of the Jungle by Ricardo Falla-Sánchez.

She would also become an advisor to various organizations such as the Amatitlán Lake Authority (AMSA), Doctors Without Borders, and the National Network for Environmental Training and Research (REDFIA).

[5] During the 2015 demonstrations, Herrera decided to participate with the USAC's policy board where she would be elected as a representative of the College of Pharmacists and Chemists of Guatemala.

At the end of 2022, Deputy Román Castellanos invited her to participate in the internal process of electing the candidate for the vice presidency of Semilla.
