About Me

“I exist as I am, that is enough.”
— Walt Whitman
Let’s start with a professional review…
In a performance review from March 2021, a former editor of mine described me as approaching my work with an “almost addictive energy.”
Alyssa has a challenging beat -- she is writing about ad tech one day and alternative milk products the other. Such a position requires versatility, and she has it. She approaches new topics and products with almost addictive energy.
This applies to my professional style, but it’s also an incredibly accurate depiction of my personality more generally. When it comes to books, movies, and TV shows “obsessive” might be a better word to describe the level of commitment with which I consume content. My inbox is always open for conversations about the WNBA, NWSL, Marvel, or any number of other famous franchises.
When I’m not writing, catch me…
Eating
I make the best buffalo chicken dip. Don’t believe me? Here are some performance reviews of a different sort:
“Spicy, creamy, tangy, life-changing.”
—Sophia Eppolito, supportive college roommate
“A delicious blend of cream cheese and buffalo sauce, baked off in the oven until the dip creates a symbiotic balance of crunch and softness. Great mouth feel.”
—Kalina Newman, satisfied friend
“I still haven’t stopped being speechless.”
—Dylan Miller, new to buffalo chicken dip, several minutes after eating
“Not too hot but perfect flavor.”
—Alex, a boy I met on Tinder and went out with twice
