Hi! I'm Alyssa and I'm a Writer and Poet from Baltimore, Maryland.

I began writing at the age of 9 and never looked back. There is something so powerful about being able to speak to an audience and make an impact with your words. My work includes a poetry anthology, Closed Mouths Don’t Heal and an affirmation book, Push Through: 75 Affirmations For Self-Healing.

​

A little more about me: I'm a Certified Professional Résumé Writer with 5+ years of writing experience and I have a B.S. in Criminal Justice from the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore (HBCU), and an M.A. in Higher Education Administration from Louisana State University (Geaux Tigers!).

I ran a career services business from 2017-2022, where I worked with dozens of Professionals in a variety of industries ranging from High-school to Director level. My clients have landed positions at companies like Johns Hopkins University, Northrop Grumman, and the USDA.  

​

Fast forward: I decided to make a shift from providing Career Services to Speaking Engagements. Public Speaking and Teaching come naturally to me and I find so much impact in teaching others how to set themselves up for success. Anything from Keynote Speeches to Career Workshops, I've been blessed to lead and be a part of. The areas I enjoy writing and speaking on are Self-Care and Career Success.

My Professional Background includes:

Higher Education, Career Development, and Recruitment. By day, I work as a University Recruiter where I hire college students for internship opportunities.

​

Some Companies/Organizations I've worked with previously include:

Hinge Health, New Futures DC, #YesSheCanCampaign, The Harve De Grace Arts Collective,  and more!

If you are looking for an energetic and engaging Speaker for your next event, look no further-I'm just the person for the job!
