Alyssa is the editor and founder of Sacred Radiance. She is extremely passionate about seeing young women grow into who God has created them to be. She is also passionate about her beloved Savior – Jesus Christ.
She is currently in the process of pursuing a degree in Communication Arts from Kent State University, and has a love for writing, books, music, photography, good stories, and people. God has recently blessed her with a wonderful husband, Craig, and an opportunity at a new life in the beautiful state of Ohio. By definition, she is a wife, daughter, sister, friend, musician, writer, student, orphan advocate, and cat lover extraordinaire. While all these things remain true – and she cherishes each title with her whole heart – she realizes that she is also called “daughter”. The Creator of the universe has made me His own, and He is continually making her new.
Many people tend to refer to Alyssa as zealous, artistic, introverted, complicated, and horribly awkward. In addition to these things, she is also a coffee addict, lover of aged books (and their divine aroma), and suffers from a severe case of wanderlust.
