Storytelling is my passion—especially when it brings hope, representation, and unheard voices to the screen.
​
I’m Alyssa, a rising junior at UCONN majoring in Digital Media and Design with a focus in Video and Film Production. Growing up biracial, experiencing both traditional and non-traditional education, living in NYC, the suburbs, and everywhere in between, I’ve learned to see the world through many lenses.​
At UCONN, I’m developing my creative and leadership skills—as Vice President of Chi Alpha Campus Ministries and a filmmaker with a heart for meaningful stories.
Every day, I aspire to dream, create, and grow a little bit more than I had yesterday!
