She graduated from Wintersville High School in 1977. In 1979, she graduated with an associate’s degree in nursing from Kent State branch, located in East Liverpool, Ohio.
In high school, with the support of her mother, she gave her first speech about her brother Craig, which was titled “Life Goes On.” Her speech moved some of her classmates to tears.
In college, she enrolled in writing and speech electives whenever she could. However, her academic schedule allowed few opportunities for such courses.
In 1980, Alisa wrote and submitted a short piece of work to her hometown publication, The Steubenville Herald Star, after mourning the loss of a dear friend. It was her mother who suggested and inspired her to write this tribute. This tribute was Alisa’s first work in print and her second realization of the potentiality of the written/spoken word.
Over the years she continued to write: lyrics, poems, tributes, short stories and commentaries; and she always kept a journal. Out of curiosity, she took a literary screening test. She was then invited to join the program of study, though declined; she wanted to give total focus to her three sons. But, she never stopped writing.voir moins
