“I treasure the experiences and education I had abroad. The global perspectives I gained shaped me into a more inquisitive and empathetic person and I hope to use this in my pursuit of further international education.”
Education
Alyssa holds a joint bachelor’s degree in Global International Relations from American University and Ritsumeikan University.
Travel Experience
Alyssa’s travel experience began with a high school education trip to Italy, which inspired her desire to learn about other nations and their relations. That led her to the Sakura Scholars Joint Degree Program, where she spent two years in Kyoto, Japan, learning Japanese and the culture, while fostering a passion for diplomacy. She cannot wait to visit more countries and continue her education.
