We moved from a foreign country and my two children and I were welcomed as a in 2008 until we found an apartment to settle down in. We barely understood English and were very frustrated in the new environment, but Alisa’s very warm, open and welcoming personality relaxed us. She loves children, animals, and nature. Since then, we have kept in touch with each other for ten years, even though our family moved out of state. She has been optimistic and cheerful in every situation, and have always encouraged me through all of these years. Additionally, she is a certified English as a second language teacher, and has a strong understanding for foreigners.
