Big Congratulations to Alyssa!
Meet Alyssa – Our Official Activities Director for Spectrum Club 13+!
We are thrilled to introduce Alyssa, a vibrant and compassionate young woman who is leading activities for our Spectrum Club 13+!
At just 22, Alyssa is a graduate of Beattie Technical School where she pursued her passion for animals as a veterinary technician. Currently, she brings her big heart and positive energy to McDonald’s, where she’s known for making every customer leave with a smile.
When she’s not at work, Alyssa’s creative side shines through her love for painting and drawing. She also gives back by volunteering with Jaime’s Dream Team, where she enjoys helping cook and support others.
Her kindness, empathy, and dedication to making others feel welcome are truly inspiring. She deeply admires her brother William, who proudly serves in the military, and she brings that same spirit of care and respect to everything she does.
Welcome, Alyssa – we’re lucky to have you leading the way!
