Allisence Chang

Early Childhood Coordinator

Born and raised in Boston, Allisence grew up attending church with her mother and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior in middle school.

Allisence attended Michigan State University, majoring in journalistic graphic design and Spanish. She has previously worked as a graphic designer for a newspaper and later transitioned into teaching, spending over a decade as a special education teacher in public schools across Phoenix, San Francisco, and Oakland.

While caring for her newborn son (and not expecting to return to work), Allisence found the job posting at Reality and she and her husband Jon both felt a clear calling from God that she should apply. She now serves with our Children’s team, focusing on the nursery and preschool ministries and developing inclusive systems for children with special needs. 

Outside of work, Allisence enjoys exploring new places with her family, riding public transportation, and snowboarding.
