Alyssa is a senior majoring in government and politics with a concentration in international relations and a minor in Korean studies. Alyssa first joined the EA team in 2022 as a short-term programs student assistant. Where she helped answer student inquiries about short-term programs and worked with her boss to increase student participation for summer and winter term programs. She then left to study abroad at Seoul National University in Seoul, South Korea for the 2022-2023 academic year. Now Alyssa has rejoined the EA team as a global learning abroad ambassador. Alyssa is excited to return to the EA office and share her experiences abroad with students in hope that it motivates them to study abroad too.
