Alyssa Peterson is a Licensed School Psychologist and the sole owner of Phoenix
Education Solutions, LLC, a private practice company founded on the sacred
ground of social justice and resilience. Inspired by the unique needs of
underrepresented populations in public school systems, Alyssa envisioned
starting a business that expands her mission to advocate for equity in student
achievement. From 2015-2018, Alyssa served the school communities of South
Central Los Angeles with her whole heart. She observed the daily impact of the
achievement gap and collaborated with stakeholders to improve school-wide
support systems. To take her advocacy even further, Alyssa joined the 2018
Policy and Advocacy Team for a non-profit organization, Educators for
Excellence. Her leadership in public policy reform is evidenced within a
teacher-led policy paper designed with recommendations in the areas of
instructional support, restorative justice, and social-emotional learning, as
well as family engagement practices.
