Alisha is a multifaceted writer whose essays, poetry, and stories explore the messiness of being human.
She traverses themes such as moral ambiguity, family and religious trauma, the complexity of relationships, and the magic in the mundane.
She deeply enjoys weaving the web of a messy love story, but is equally at home bringing spine-chilling paranormal tales to life. No matter the story she’s telling, she does so with vibrant imagery and thoughtfully developed details.

Alisha has led a life filled with creativity and curiosity.
This is aptly reflected in her diverse background in advertising, visual arts, music, and psychology. She began writing poetry and short stories at a young age and rediscovered her passion for writing many years later at a local writing group.
An avid reader, cinephile, and lover of musical theater, Alisha loves any genre that tells a good, solid story. A romantic by nature, she infuses her writing with powerful imagery, giving readers a glimpse of the world from her own peculiar perspective.
Though often referred to as a "ray of sunshine" by her peers, she also embraces her dark side with a passion for horror and the supernatural. You might catch her writing poetry in the corner at her favorite local haunts, getting lost in the Fiction section of the library, slowly tackling her ever-growing TBR pile, singing Maisie Peters or K. Flay at the top of her lungs, or soaking up quality time with her favorite people (and dogs).
