My name is Allisa! I have worked here at Easter Seals since 2016 and I love it!

I, also, have a dog named Paris and they are my life. I love spending time with my loved ones, being a great aunt and sister, going to music festivals, and cooking. If you want to know more about me, please ask! I’m always happy to share!

On my own time, I like to do martials arts choreography, traveling to new places on my bucket list, listening to music, reading fiction

Hi, my name is Gladys and I live in sunny San Diego. I enjoy learning new things and sharing my knowledge with everyone. Education has always been important to me. Being a part of the Virtual Community has been a great experience because I’ve learned so much and I have, also, met amazing people. During my free time, I enjoy watching documentaries about nature. I’m a big fan of Star Wars shows and love going to the movies. I, also, love going hiking and traveling to new places. The events that I enjoy the most hosting in the Virtual Community are Animal Exploration, Karaoke, and Learning Spanish because I always have fun!

My name is Jimmy and I have worked with Easterseals since 2012. Some of my hobbies are listening to music, and going out and about on adventure-like hikes. I enjoy doing a nice puzzle when possible, and spending time with my family. I try to be a motivational person; a person who uplifts people and can put a smile on your face while, at the same time, can hear you out when needed. Whenever you have a question and if I am able to help, feel free to ask. I am here to help when needed. It’s my pleasure to be of service, and if I make your day, then that is a happy bonus for me. YEAH BUDDY!!
