She was an extraordinary young woman, who passionately dedicated her brief life to social justice with a focus on women’s rights. In 2011, Alyssa graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a Bachelor of Arts with College Honors and a Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies major. And in 2016, she received her JD as a Dean’s Scholar from the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and Certificate in Management from The Wharton School. Alyssa most recently worked as a Title IX Investigator at Columbia University in New York City, assisting student sexual violence victims. She previously worked as an Assistant Attorney General and Litigation Fellow for the Office of the New York State Attorney General. After law school, she became an Associate at the law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP in New York City, after being a Summer Associate there, and a Legal Intern for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Trenton, NJ. Following Washington University, Alyssa worked as a Project Assistant in Sanctuary for Families’ Courtroom Advocates Project in New York City, assisting domestic violence victims. While in St. Louis, she volunteered as Fundraising Chair for the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Relay for Life of Washington University; as a member of ACS’ High Plains Relay for Life Emerging Markets Taskforce; as a tutor at Lydia’s House, which supports domestic violence victims; as a Program Leader for Natural Ties, where students spend time with adults with special needs; and, as a Domestic Violence Courtroom Advocate in the St. Louis County Courthouse. While attending Washington University, she was a Teaching Associate for the “Law & Society” freshman political science seminar, a Peer Health Exchange Program Intern in New York City, and a Legal Services Intern for the Rachel Coalition, serving domestic violence victims in northern New Jersey. During her education and work, Alyssa repeatedly received special recognition, including: The Legal Aid Society’s 2018 Pro Bono Publico Award; the New York State Bar Association’s Empire State Counsel recognition of 50+ hours pro bono work; and, as a Penn Carey Law School’s Equal Justice Foundation Summer Fellow and the Toll Public Interest Center’s Excellence in Leadership Award. She was kind, considerate, generous, smart, and witty, and she enjoyed good conversation and debating about her passions, which often included social justice. She made a remarkable impression on everyone who met her by being a loving and caring person.
