7 Things About Alyssa
- I have very few special talents, but one of them is calling dolphins
Ok, so the call doesn’t necessarily make dolphins appear, but it certainly has an uncanny resemblance to a dolphin call! - I was the team captain of my college’s Sky Diving Team. I have over 565 sky dives…yes, out of a perfectly good airplane! (no such thing by the way
) - I went to a small engineering institute at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains for 4 years of undergraduate and have been living in the same place for 6 years now
- I am getting my Master’s Degree in International Relations and Conflict Resolution. Not my absolute favorite choice of study
- I would love to get my Aerobics Instructor’s license, go to Culinary School, and become a Registered Nutritionist and Dietitian!
- I learned to ski in Breckenridge at the age of 11. In the process of learning, I got lost on the mountain (my ski class left me). I ended up going down a dead end and thank heavens for the barricades they placed on the cliff at the end of the slope!! I was so scared after almost falling off the mountain, that I stayed on the bunny slope the rest of the trip!!
- I have a tattoo on my right buttcheek…what is it of?? Secret
