LEADERSHIP & JUDGMENT
Knowing when to speak and act
My work has included public presentations, media interviews, program reporting, and communicating information leadership could use to make decisions.

Villa.
Using my voice
to serve.
Whether I’m singing, speaking, listening, or putting words into action, I believe a voice is most powerful when it serves others.
HER STORY
Purpose gives
the voice meaning.
My work has taken me from building relationships one conversation at a time to speaking for programs, sharing stories in the media, and honoring service through music.
Every setting asks something different of me. A military ceremony, a community gathering, a leadership meeting, and a media interview all begin with understanding who I am there to serve. Then it is about using good judgment, representing the moment well, and following through.
COMMUNICATIONS IN ACTION
More than a message.
A responsibility.
Strategy, relationships, and judgment shape the work behind every public moment.
MILITARY & CIVIC PARTNERSHIPS
Relationships behind the work
Working with Camp Pendleton leadership, family readiness teams, and community partners, I helped coordinate support for military families and brought people together around shared commitments.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Building trust through connection
As Veterans Program Director at Orange County Music & Dance, I developed outreach relationships, represented the program in the community, and helped people connect with opportunities to participate.
A TURNING POINT
A turning point
“If I could use my voice to make millions for one of the most valuable companies in the world, then I could use my voice to make a difference.”
During the pandemic, Alissa reflected on her years at Rolex and the power of her voice to connect, influence, and inspire. That realization became a turning point in her journey toward using her gifts in service to others.
ART & MEDIA
Some stories
are meant to be heard.
Whether I’m performing at a military ceremony or speaking in a media interview, I consider who I’m talking to, who I’m talking about, and who I’m representing.
