I graduated from Animas High School as Alysha Massey in 1994. Following graduation I attended NMSU for one year in the Agriculture department before transferring to WNMU in Silver City to receive my BS in Secondary Education with endorsements in Language Arts and Social Studies.

I did my student teaching here at good ol' AHS in 1997, and then took time off to raise three energetic boys with my husband Sam. Rayce is 6, Ty is 4 and Coy is 2. They are my pride and joy and defiantly keep me busy. My husband Sam works on my family farm here in Animas. We also have a partnership with my brother and cousins on our own farm. We are fifth generation farmers in this county.

I am also an active member of the Animas Chapter, Omega Alpha, of Epsilon Sigma Alpha International (ESA). We are a women's service organization dedicated to helping others. Good friends, good works and good times...that is what ESA is to me.
