Administrative Assistant
Sandra D'Alessio
I am born and raised in Long Island New York. I came down to North Carolina 6 years ago to be closer to my grandchildren. I am the proud grandmother to two beautiful, sweet angels. I got involved with PEERS because I believe in the work we do and want to be a part of the change and not just the conversation.
