PODCASTER PROFILE: Meet our newest member, Alyssa!!

Hello, fellow readers and listeners!

I'm Alyssa, and I'm the newest member of Three for Tea. I have a degree in English and an emphasis in Creative Writing because I adore poetry and prose alike. I work in tech at a start-up company in the Silicon Valley, but when not attempting to appear like a responsible adult, I can be found consuming copious amounts of cheese and (probably) having an existential crisis. I'm a lover of puns, parables, and paradoxes and am a strong advocate of the Oxford comma. I'm also prone to drinking coffee, reading voraciously, having romantic notions, silently correcting everyone's grammar, and frequenting libraries and used bookstores. 

Additionally, I love listening to live music, quoting A Knight's Tale in full, and daydreaming about running away to start life anew in Western Europe. I pin, blog, gram, tweet, and am sometimes on Facebook. 

It's nice to meet you all!

Sincerely,

Alyssa
