She has worked in education for fifteen years as a teacher, a youth development professional, and, in her current role, as an instructional designer.

Other parts of her role include working with campus and community stakeholders to create positive learning experiences in a range of modalities for a range of learners

Alyssa holds a M.A. in Online Education and Athletic Leadership from Michigan State University, a B.A. in Secondary Education from Western Michigan University, and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Higher Education Leadership at Western Michigan University where she is studying how communities, organizations, and educational institutions can work together to support and promote equity and access to education for all students. 

In her spare time, Alyssa enjoys traveling, a great house remodeling project, exploring great food, and the great outdoors - particularly the state and national parks - with her family.
