Alisa is a graduate of the University of Michigan with degrees in English and in Vocal Performance. Both of those areas of study helped to further enhance her love of reading, writing and performing.  She also attended and graduated from the Specs Howard School of Media Arts, which guided her to launch a long and successful career in the media.

Helping charitable institutions is a big part of Alisa’s, “out of the office,” life, spending many weekend evenings volunteering her services as speaker and/or Emcee at a myriad of charitable functions. Additionally, she co-founded a non-profit organization called Horses Heal Hearts. This group was formed to honor a fallen area police officer and continues to shine a light on the good works of first responders, while lifting the spirits of those in need. She is also in the process of forming a new non-profit organization called, The Specs Howard Legacy Foundation. In addition to honoring her father, this group will be dedicated to sharing the stories of people who have made positive contributions to their communities. 

Personally, Alisa is the extremely proud mother of four daughters, one son-in-law and the newest love of her life, her granddaughter. She spends her free time reading, writing, watching movies and walking Teddy The Dog.
