Her husband is a practicing OB/GYN, giving her firsthand insight into the challenges, demands, and rewards of the specialty. Her personal and professional worlds are deeply connected to women’s health, reinforcing her commitment to supporting the physicians, leaders, and organizations dedicated to improving healthcare for women.

She takes the time to understand the unique priorities, culture, and goals of each organization and candidate, with a focus on creating thoughtful, lasting matches that strengthen teams and advance the delivery of exceptional care.
Originally from Houston, Alysha found her way back to Texas and now resides in Dallas with her husband and their three sons. She balances her professional passion for physician recruitment and women’s health with a vibrant family life, bringing the same energy, curiosity, and commitment to both.
