In addition to our Youth Activity Coordinators, The Zones works with professionals to bring us the very best in classes, camps and workshops.
Alyssa brings a thoughtful blend of hospitality, creativity, and organization to her role as Marketing & Event Coordinator at the Inn at Occidental, where she curates memorable guest experiences and beautifully executed events. With a professional background in hospitality, Alyssa understands that food is more than just ingredients; it is about experience. From preparation to presentation, she has spent years learning how thoughtful details can elevate something simple into something special. Baking is her favorite creative outlet, and she loves sharing the skills and techniques that help bring confidence and imagination into the kitchen.
The Zones is proud to partner with Alyssa to lead engaging baking classes and inspire young chefs through hands-on learning and creativity.
