  • Alyssa has spent more than 15 years making a career out of being a pop culture connoisseur — from interviewing Betty White and the cast of "Workaholics" to working behind the scenes at ABC's "The View" and MSG Entertainment.
  • Her after-school activities as a child revolved around watching "TRL" and "E! News" (RIP), and she once dreamed of being a red carpet reporter.
  • She is an OG Twihard, a recovering Gleek, and a longtime Little Monster.

Experience

Alyssa has been writing about arts and entertainment since her high school days, starting with music and film reviews for her school newspaper.

When she's not writing, you can normally find her reading, doomscrolling or dominating bar trivia with her team, Destiny's Other Children.

Alyssa holds a master's in leadership for creative enterprises from Northwestern University and a bachelor's degree in telecommunications management from the University of Florida.
