Meet your City Leaders:
Alysa
Hi! My name is Alysa and I was born and raised in Orange County. I lived in beautiful Sonoma County while going to college and then moved to Honolulu, Hawaii for grad school (I know, sometimes I wonder why I left too). I grew up playing sports and I would say I'm about a 50/50 mix of tomboy and girly-girl. I love grabbing a couple of beers and watching a game but I am definitely not one to turn down a mimosa brunch and a shopping day with the girls.
I am extremely passionate about what I do- I am a financial adviser and I'm fortunate to be able to use my education to help my clients increase their financially literacy so that they can make sound financial decisions. In my spare time, I coach youth girls' basketball and high school basketball at Mater Dei. I love the life skills that sports instill in girls and young women! I can't get enough of good coffee, good food, and a good yoga sculpt class. I am obsessed with the HGTV channel, being active, and my little pup, MJ.
I am so excited to be apart of the GTB team and movement! I cannot wait to meet other women and bond over delicious food!
Laura King
Hi! I’m Laura. I’m a Southern California transplant from the Bay Area and the East Coast orginally. I went to the University of Oregon (Go Ducks!) and I’m a huge Ducks fan!
I’ve been in OC for the last 4 years and lived in LA for 5 before this; I think I’m officially a Southern California girl! I’ve lived all over the world (most recently New York and before that Hong Kong) and am now happy to call OC home where I’m close to family. I left a 10-year career in the fashion industry to become a Financial Advisor. I’m completely obsessed with what I do, mainly because I get to bring a female perspective and comfort level to personal finance that I think is really missing in the industry. I love exercise (certified Peloton addict), being with my nieces (4 years old and 7 months), and networking in this beautiful place we call home!
