Hi! My name is Alyssa and I’m from northeast Georgia. I graduated from Georgia State University with a degree in neuroscience. Before medical school, I took six gap years, where I worked in restaurant industry, got married, and got a Master of Public Health in biostatistics.

In my free time, you can find me hiking, live music, and exploring Durham’s restaurants and breweries with my family. Happy to chat about balancing medical school with personal life, taking gap years, and anything else!
