Meet Your Newest Board Member
Thanks to Carissa Hoover for volunteering to head up KOK's fundraising efforts!
Carissa Hoover didn't have the opportunity to join a sorority as a student at Baruch College, City University of New York, but she has thrown herself into the Alpha Chi Omega experience as an alumna initiate. She now serves as KOK's fundraising chair and is heading up our annual study bag fundraiser.
Carissa grew up in Vista and currently lives in Carlsbad with her two fur children, Kika, a German Shepherd mix, and Kristoff, a recently adopted kitten. She works as a marketing and business consultant and as a volleyball coach. She's also an avid volleyball player, and she enjoys spending time at the gym and taking long walks with her dog. When she's not sweating it out, she likes to cook for the people she loves, indulge in wine tasting, and attend country music concerts. Her burning desire is to travel more, and a trip to Thailand is at the top of her wish list.
Carissa describes herself as "stubbornly persistent," and that characteristic, along with hard work and passion, has helped her become successful. Carissa also loves the values of Alpha Chi Omega, which has quickly taken on a special role in her life. She looks forward to continuing the traditions of our sorority.
