How do you stay busy outside of the office?
Alisha: Music has always been a huge part of my life thanks to my parents, who are both musicians and traveled throughout my childhood, bringing me on the road with them while they lived their dream career. I play piano and sing, and I perform live on occasion, playing alongside my fiancé on guitar. We also love karaoke date nights and even bring our kids along to some of the all-ages spots whenever we can! In addition to music, I also spend a lot of time outdoors with my family and our 2 labradoodles, hiking and camping, and visiting Lake Tahoe frequently in the summer.
