Alisa is a dear sister, daughter, friend, and (my own personal experience) a great summer camp counselor and travel buddy. She made our mundane croissant breakfasts just a little better and our feet hurt just a little less while we dragged ourselves everywhere in Rome. She is truly present in the moment and makes the person she is speaking to feel understood and recognized. I was ecstatic when she asked me to take her graduation photos. I loved documenting a beloved friend moving onto a new chapter in her life. Alisa is truly a refuge for any troubled mind.  Her warmness and compassion will ease anyone.
