Alisa had many hobbies including a love for reading and learning new things, visiting the library, doing word puzzles and quizzes, visiting museums, listening to music, watching movies, drawing, thread stretching, going to the lake, traveling and riding bikes. Her talents included playing her kalimba, creating and consuming art, playing the ukulele, she was very good at embroidering, and most importantly sharing her compassion and empathy with those around her. She was very intuitive, a wonderful listener. Alisa had the sweetest soul, and everyone she met loved her. She was introverted but she had the biggest heart. Alisa always loved quickly and deeply and always gave the best advice even when you didn’t need it. She touched so many lives and the memory of her will never be forgotten.
Alisa was a college freshman at Oklahoma City Community College and worked as a barista at Scooter’s Coffee. She was member of Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Oklahoma City. Alisa was very intelligent and had won a science competition when she was in school. Her proudest moment is when she received a very high score on her ACT on the very first try and was accepted into college.
