Alyssha graduated from Purdue University's School of Science with a Bachelor of Arts in 2010. She was awarded a concentration in clinical rehabilitation, for which she was required to do extensive coursework in therapeutic techniques. She is well-versed in childhood development as well as mental health disorders and treatments. Alyssha did her capstone practicum at the Hook Center for traumatic brain injuries, where she worked with clients in both a hospital setting as well as an outpatient rehabilitation setting. 

Upon graduating with her Bachelor's Degree, Alyssha attended the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, graduating in August of 2015. Alyssha then took the Illinois Bar exam and was admitted to practice in Illinois in 2016. She started her legal career serving as a plaintiff's attorney in debt collection, and while she decided that was not the career path she wanted to pursue long-term, she rapidly developed lifelong skills in working in high-conflict, emotionally-charged situations. Alyssha later moved to Minnesota and was admitted to the Minnesota bar in October of 2019. She is also admitted to the federal bar for the District of Minnesota, as well as the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. Alyssha has exclusively practiced family law during her time in Minnesota, and is known for her thorough but compassionate approach. Alyssha has several clients who have followed her from her first position in Minnesota, and has a reputation among former clients for being willing to go the extra mile to help.
