An accomplished student, Alyssa has received one of the Mathematics Department E. H. Hanson scholarships and a DFW Rims Scholarship. When asked to name an interesting fact about herself, Alyssa said that by the time she was six years old, she had lived in five different states and moved eight times. Alyssa is therefore well-qualified to describe all the great things about living in Denton.
