Alyssa Degan, Executive Visuals Editor

I am Alyssa Degan and I am a senior. This is my second year on the KnightMedia staff. I enjoy taking pictures at many sports events for photo albums and creating broadcasts for KnightTV. At Prospect, I am also involved in soccer, Knight's Way, ASB, and am a U leader for the student section. Other than my school activities I enjoy hiking and snowboarding.
