Alyssa, one of the newest members and possibly youngest of the geek.kon team, has been a life long geek. Being very prone to sickness, she spent a lot of time at home, prompting her parents (semi-geek father and major geek mother) to buy her first a NES, then Super NES, N64, PS2, and finally a semi-gaming laptop. Her geekdom is not limited to gaming, she was introduced to anime in the 6th grade and has been addicted ever since. She also enjoys cosplay and roleplaying and was introduced to both shortly before the 2008 geek.kon, which was also her first con. She is very excited to be a part of the staff this year!
