Halcyon means happy and peaceful. The word comes from Greek mythology regarding the halcyon bird (the kingfisher) having the power to calm ocean waves so she could nest floating in the sea.

Self-expression and self-identification is important. One way I practice these values is to ask others their preferred name and gender pronouns and to share mine.
A lot of people are unsure how to pronounce my last name or find it difficult so I often go by Dr. Alyssa at work. Outside of work I go by Alyssa. My pronouns are she, her, hers.
Queen Vanilla Bean or just "Bean" is training to be a therapy dog. Bean hopes to join Dr. Alyssa on occasion to visit patients (or just sleep).
Bean is currently taking advanced therapy classes.
