My Biography:

My name is Alyssa Cuchiara, and I was born and raised in the small town of Golden, Colorado. Growing up I enjoyed golfing, skiing, and most of all, dancing. I took my first dance class at the age of three and never looked back. I performed competitively until the age of 14, when I decided to devote my time to the Golden High School Jazz Dance Team. Perhaps even more than dance, I enjoyed spending time with my family. As an only child, I bonded very closely with my cousins at an early age and they still remain some of my closest friends today.

Upon graduating Valedictorian from Golden High School in May, 2004, I made the move from the snowy mountains to the sweltering desert to become an ASU Sun Devil. I began my studies in the Interior Design program, but quickly learned that it was not my passion and transferred to the W.P. Carey School of Business where I chose to study finance. I also enjoyed economics and decided to pursue an economics minor from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

I am currently a senior and I am planning to graduate with honors in May 2008 with a degree in Finance and a minor in Economics.
