Hey! I'm Alyssa 

Pursuer of knowledge

Growing up half Puerto Rican, half Western European, living in both cities (NYC) and suburbs, and experiencing both traditional and non-traditional education -- I guess you could say I understand a diverse perspective.

I'm Alyssa, a rising Junior at UConn studying Digital Media and Design with a concentration in Video and Film Production. At UConn, I am not only developing my artistry and craft, but am also growing my leadership skills as Vice President of Chi Alpha Campus Ministries.

I aspire to use my skills and passion to share stories of hope, inspiration, representation, and to give a voice to those who often go unheard.

Every day, I aspire to dream, create, and grow a little bit more than I had yesterday!
