Alyssa Smith, Social Media Manager
Alyssa Smith is a senior at Pleasant Valley and plans to continue her education at the University of Iowa studying business analytics and marketing. She is a lover of green tea and dogs and you can often find her hammocking in various parks, including Scott County Park where she works in the summer as a camp counselor. Clearly a nature lover, she enjoys hiking and exploring and keeping various plants; her favorite is the English ivory. You can also find her at the farmers market or shopping in general. One of her favorite restaurants is the Village Deli in the village of east Davenport. She loves cooking and her favorite dish is pasta but she also enjoys baking, something she does to wind down after a long day. She also loves winding down with music–her favorite artists being Phoebe Bridgers, Taylor Swift, and Zach Bryan. Some of her favorite movies include The Truman Show and Singing in the Rain. Her favorite reads are The Awakening by Kate Chopin and Just Kids by Patti Smith. As the social media manager of the Spartan Shield, Alyssa is excited to connect with others and expand her knowledge this year.
