Book
The last book I read was The Seven Year Slip by Ashly Poston. I’m constantly reading, writing, and curating reviews on my Bookstagram, @alyssaslittlelibrary! My favorite show is Gilmore Girls and my favorite movies are Legally Blonde, Dead Poets Society.
Career Goals

I’m passionate about justice, solving complex problems using creativity, and civic engagement. My goals are to continually promote civic engagement through public policy, collaborating with our federal government as an attorney to review, develop, and enact innovative policies that serve the conditions and development citizens are passionate about. In conjunction with government experience, I hope to practice subsets of intellectual property to support and protect innovative creatives. Throughout this journey, I hope to contribute back to academia and become a law professor!

Community Involvement

Outside of scholars, I’m an Honors student taking various liberal arts studies through our Honors Signature Courses—my favorite being Taylor Swift and Modern American History so far. I’m also participating in UROP this year, where I’m excited to be collaborating with professors as a research assistant. Additionally, I am a new writer for our very own FSU Political Review, the largest student-run non-partisan politics blog in Florida. I’m also involved with the FSU Page Turners!

Favorite Meal

Chicken caesar salad with fries, the occasional poke bowl, or a slice of quiche

Research Interests

Currently, I am excited to pursue research with UROP within and outside of my field. In the future, I hope to study topics on public policy, justice, civic engagement, innovation, literature, and their historical intersections. My favorite part of research is defining a methodology!
