Alyssa is an alumnus of the foster care system who is actively pursuing her journey toward independent living. She is deeply involved with Silver Lining Mentoring, where she serves on the leadership council. Alyssa is passionate about giving back to youth currently in foster care and to organizations that support them by sharing her story and advocating for meaningful changes. She is an incredibly kind and caring individual who ensures that those around her feel seen and heard.

Alyssa, who has taught herself to sew and hand mend her own clothing, has set a New Year's resolution for 2026: to improve her sewing skills and create clothing that fits her perfectly. She believes that having a sewing machine would bring her one step closer to achieving this goal and further nurturing her passion for the craft.
