About Alyssa

As the oldest of 7 (and now an aunt of 1!) babysitting came with the territory. Luckily, I found that getting to help out my parents and spend time with my crazy younger siblings was a great deal. From an early age, I began volunteering in Vacation Bible School, my local library, and babysitting for neighbors, on top of school and working part time throughout high school. Once I graduated and began pursuing a degree in education, I applied for an internship at Project Transformation, a non-profit funded by Americorps that offered under-served families in Dallas an awesome summer program that focused on fighting the "summer slide." My first summer with them solidified my love for teaching, and I ended up going back the next summer in an administrative position. I'm currently taking a break from college, after the chaos of last year, but would love to still be active in my calling, and continue to encourage children to have fun while learning! Thank you for reading.
