REALTY - Key Persons
My name is Alyssa Yoelson, a resident of Terryville, Connecticut. I was raised in Litchfield County and went to UConn University and Northwestern Community College.
Ever since I was younger, I have always strived to help people. Throughout my journey in life, I have actively made career choices to do so. I currently work as an Occupational Therapist in a pediatric setting at Torrington Public Schools. Aside from my job helping children, I have also spent several years working with the elderly, providing OT in a nursing home/ rehab, as well as providing home care as a nursing assistant. Outside of working I enjoy volunteering at the church I attend.
Regarding my home life, I am a loving dog and chicken mom who enjoys spending time with my nephew and God daughter. I am also excited to be getting married in 2023. I have always enjoyed adventuring around the state. From hiking, fishing, kayaking, and exploring all the restaurants, I have truly enjoyed getting to know Connecticut. I love New England which ultimately helped me decide to follow my career path of becoming a real estate agent and help others find their dream home. I can't wait to help you find yours.
