Alyssa grew up in Bellevue, Neb., and graduated from the University of Nebraska with a degree in Journalism and Spanish. She says, “When I reflect back on my time as a high school student, applying for colleges and scholarships, what always crosses my mind are those who helped me to get where I am today. If it weren’t for those adults I had in my life at that time who motivated, supported and encouraged me to chase my dreams I am not sure where I would be today. My favorite part of working with students is being able to be that person they can seek help from, rely on and find encouragement from. Being a minority and first generation college student myself, I can relate so much to our students. It’s great for them to see an example, someone who is similar to them. I am excited to be on this journey and watch students achieve their dreams.”
