Alissa is an old friend of the CAC’s!  In 2001, when Alissa was in college, she first interned with us, an experience that solidified her passion for child protection.  Alissa next went to law school, with dreams of becoming a child abuse prosecutor, spending the summer of 2006 with us, as our legal intern.  Upon her law school graduation, Alissa joined the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, where she worked for 16 years as a Child Protection Unit prosecutor.   

Interested in the combination of law and social work, Alissa is now embarking upon her MSW at Boston College. Alissa joins us for the 2024-2025 year, as one of our mental health interns, where she is excited to learn new skills to bring to her work in the child protection field.
