Anissa Nieves
Meet Anissa, Director of After School Programs – Elementary School at Girls Inc. of the Valley, and a curious soul with a boundless love for reading. Standing at 4’10”, her friends affectionately call her Peanut. Anissa’s favorite movie quote is, “You will be bored of him in two years, and we will be interesting forever,” capturing her zest for life and adventure.
Anissa’s imagination is her superpower. If she could be anyone for a day, she’d choose to be a character from one of her beloved fantasy books. “How exciting would it be to see a new world, always have a new fight and adventure, and always be victorious in anything you do? The worlds created in books are so beautiful to me, and I would love to live in one just for a day,” she says, dreaming of magical realms and epic quests. Her curiosity doesn’t stop at the pages of books.
If given the chance to take on another job for a day, Anissa would delve into the world of national secrets, exploring mysteries like Area 51, the Bermuda Triangle, and deep ocean exploration. “I’m just way too curious!! What’s out really there?” she wonders. With her vibrant personality and insatiable curiosity, Anissa is an inspiring presence for the youth she serves at Girls Inc. of the Valley.
