My name is Allisa! I have worked here at Easter Seals since 2016 and I love it! I am outgoing and love meeting new people all around the world; making changes, not only in my life, but in others’ as well. My favorite part about the Virtual Community is being able to connect and be there to support each other. I like to spend my personal time with my cats, Lucky and Scooter. 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!

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!!
