Meet Alyssa

ECHO Wellness Project is my commitment to fostering community healing through education and outreach. A proud LA Native, the name ECHO is a call to my roots. I grew up in Echo Park, a neighborhood in Los Angeles, that has been heavily impacted by gentrification.

I am a proud Latina and first-generation college graduate coming from a mixed-immigrant status household. I am a lifelong advocate, learner, and driven by my passion to create change.
