Welcome to My Senior Portfolio

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here!

At 52, I made the bold decision to return to school and complete my degree in Professional Technical Writing—and I’m proud to say I’ll be graduating this spring! Even more exciting, my twin sons are also graduating this spring, making this season especially meaningful for our family.

I wear many hats: I’m a full-time professional, a devoted mother of three incredible children, a dog mom to my two fur babies (Piper Grace and Kobe), an entrepreneur, a Pastor, and a published author of two books—Heavenly Holiday Delights and The Ascension of the Prophets. My days are full, but everything I do is fueled by passion and purpose.

Though I didn’t originally plan to pursue a writing degree, it’s proven to be the perfect fit. Writing and storytelling have always been part of who I am, and I feel incredibly blessed to use my voice to serve, inspire, and uplift others through both my ministry and my words.

Thank you for visiting—I hope something here resonates with you and encourages you on your own journey.


INTRODUCING ALISA JACKSON-PATTERSON

Rhetorical Knowledge

My understanding of rhetoric is shaped by a deep awareness of how language, context, and audience interact to produce meaningful communication. Throughout my studies, I've developed a keen ability to analyze and adapt my communication strategies to fit various rhetorical situations, ensuring that my messages resonate with and persuade diverse audiences.

Disciplinary Theory & Application

Rhetoric requires disciplinary theory in all its complex components. It serves as the beacon that directs you to choose the best tactics for every unique component. A writer can accomplish the desired effects and effectively engage their intended audience by having a thorough understanding of elements such as tone, ethos, logos, and pathos. 

Document Design & Usability

The document design section showcases my ability to speak to my designated audience by intentionally combining professionalism, creativity, and clarity to highlight my writing and rhetorical studies visually.
