Afterward, in her final year of study, she got to perform in her first play, Democracy Day 1, where she found her love for comedy and theater. Alyssa received the opportunity to work with critically acclaimed actor Matthew Modine, one-on-one in a master class during her study. At the end of her final year, she wrote and directed her first short film, "Quarantine Day 36". Throughout her time at the Academy, she was involved in multiple short film productions with the filmmakers at her school.
In 2021, she landed her first feature film role in, "Forgiven", and six months later landed her first lead role in the feature film, "Fathers", which are now both available on Amazon. Throughout the year she participated in a handful of music videos, commercials, and short films.
