Alyssa grew up in the Cincinnati suburb of Florence, Kentucky always dreaming of someday becoming a pediatrician. She studied neuroscience at the University of Notre Dame, then moved to Nashville for medical school at Vanderbilt. Alyssa is an avid fan of Fighting Irish football and Reds baseball, and she loves running, swimming, baking, listening to live music, and spending as much time as possible with her niece and nephews. She is thrilled to spend three more years in Nashville and be part of the Vanderbilt Pediatrics family.
