George Mason University’s Tourism Management course-work brought Alyssa into the hands of Visit Fairfax. As a former intern, she learned all she can about destination marketing and got to experience all that Fairfax County has to offer. Her favorite thing in the world is conversation over a cup of coffee or a pint of IPA with her boyfriend. Typical topics of discussion: astrology, “ancient aliens,” utopian futures, or anything mystic and out of this world. “Sometimes the greatest adventure is simply a conversation.” – Amadeus Wolfe
