Alyssa W. Christensen
Trainer + Coach + Content Creator
When I was 10 years old (yeah, we’re going wayyy back!), I started a weekly email newsletter called “Alyssa’s Journal.” Every week, I would mimic the magazines that I loved to read, putting together articles and photos to send out to my email list of a whopping 10 subscribers (aka my “sphere of influence”). When I finally moved on to writing for my ~very serious~ junior high newspaper, over 150 issues of “Alyssa’s Journal” had been sent!
In the years since, I’ve continued to use my creativity as a content strategist. I work with brokerages, collaborate with teams, and partner with single agents to supercharge their online marketing strategies.
These days, I am also fortunate to be able to share my real estate marketing expertise in the webinars, classes, and workshops that I have created for teams and brokerages. I draw upon a decade of real estate marketing experience as well as my ongoing work with clients to inform and inspire. Learn about my current webinar offerings here.
Past Projects & Roles
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work on many exciting projects. I co-created Mastering the Art of Community Marketing, an e-course that I developed with Tacoma Real Estate Agent Marguerite Martin (also the creator of MovetoTacoma.com). I’m the founder of DearEnglishMajor.com, a website dedicated to showing English majors all that is possible with an English degree. (I’m proud of the thousands of unique visitors the site still has every month, and the 30,000+ social media followers the DEM accounts have!) I’m also the author of From Graduation to Career Ready in 21 Days: A Guide for English Majors.
Before my career in real estate marketing, I worked as an editor at a magazine where I curated, wrote, and edited articles for both the magazine’s print publication and its website. I also worked as a copywriter at an e-commerce company where I contributed to the website and the e-mail newsletter.
Behind the Scenes
I grew up in Puyallup, WA, and I earned an English degree from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA. Today, I live in Seattle with my husband Ben and our sweet doggy Churro. (You’ll also find us out in our cabin on the Puget Sound.) A few of my favorite ways to spend time include crafting, drawing, painting, playing guitar, and of course, hanging out with Ben and Churro. Ben and I also love to travel, try the newest restaurants in town, and take Churro for walks. We enjoy dabbling in real estate as well—we have bought and sold homes together, we have owned a long-term rental, and we even hosted an Airbnb!
