Hi, I’m Alyssa and I’m from California! The question of where I’m from is always a bit tricky for me since I grew up in California, went to high school in New Jersey, and my parents live in Mexico, but I’ll just stick to California! I’m a junior here at Denison studying International Studies and Spanish with a concentration in Latin America and Caribbean studies.
