alissa is online — currently: starting something new_

too many tabs.
zero apologies.

Hi, I'm Alissa. Still a teacher — I just escaped the classroom and the bell schedule. Diagnosed with ADHD at 40, which explained… everything. Now I'm 47 tabs deep, buying toy cameras I do not need and filming my breakfast like it's a movie trailer. I start things. I hyperfocus on things. I forget things exist. Finisher of things? Unclear. (I wrote this bio four times. Forgot to save three.)

REC · camera roll

regular life,
shot like a movie.

I'm obsessed with photography and own way too many toy cameras. Most days I film tiny everyday moments just to make them look cinematic.

too manytoy cameras

I tried ADHD medication and didn't stick with it. Why would I? I'd pretty much spent my whole life without it. Turns out my brain was never broken — just running too many programs at once.

I still run workshops on teaching and learning, and do authorisation visits for schools working toward international accreditation. Everything else? Side quests.

I'm also obsessed with photography. I own way too many toy cameras, and I film everyday moments to make my regular life look cinematic.
