About Alissa



I graduated from Concordia University Wisconsin. I started out college with a major in Spanish Education, sure that this is where my life was going to go.  Well, that changed a little!  I changed my major, then sure that I was going to be a youth leader.  God has different plans for me, though, as he's demonstrating in my life!  I am following His lead.

Outside of my education, I like to think that I'm a fun person :)  I am a thrill seeker, though that may surprise those who don't know me all that well! I went skydiving with my dad in February, and have been scuba diving with sharks!  I have a dry sense of humor, but people typically humor me by laughing at my lame jokes ;)  I am often sarcastic, but try to cut down on it when possible, as not everyone speaks sarcasm as fluently as I do ;)  I am a bit long-winded, so my posts will be detailed and long, which hopefully is alright with most ;)

I am (obviously) an English speaker, and I speak Spanish as well.  I am starting to learn Chinese, too--both Mandarin and Cantonese.  I am stronger in Mandarin but I am most definitely a beginner!  Living in Macau is changing that...be it ever so slowly!

I enjoy playing cards, boardgames, dice, bowling, volleyball,
soccer, and just hanging out with friends!  I am definitely a 
people-person, and enjoy merely spending time with people.  I love traveling, 
but I prefer to travel with few people as opposed to many.
