My name is Alissa Stark and I am pursuing my Doctorate Degree in Early Childhood Education from Walden University.  I have been working in this field since I began babysitting at a young age. For the last 12 years I have moved up from a teacher to a Program Area Supervisor in Head Start.  I supervise multiple sites in the Beaverton and Hillsboro School District as well as one at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility.  I live in Forest Grove with my husband and daughter who is 16.  My older daughter is heading off to college in the fall.
