A native Pittsburgher, Alyssa graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Pittsburgh with degrees in History and Italian. She attended the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, where she served as Editor-in-Chief of the law school’s Journal of Law and Commerce.

Prior to joining Anderson & Labovitz, Alyssa worked as a civil litigator for a regional law firm and then served as an Assistant Vice President, Personal Trust Officer II with a local trust company.  As a trust officer she administered various charitable foundations and scholarships, special needs trusts, as well as revocable and irrevocable trusts, interpreting the documents and making distributions in line with the beneficiary’s needs.
