Alyssa Moore graduated from Hood in 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts. She is a dynamic professional with a unique dual-track career that spans both the sports and government sectors. Alyssa's passion for the sports industry influenced her decision to earn a master’s degree in Sports Industry Management from Georgetown University. There, she honed her skills while completing internships with the Harlem Globetrotters and Washington Nationals and ultimately secured a position with the Washington Redskins’ Public Relations team. After 14 seasons with the team, Alyssa now manages the Press Box and coordinates interns for game days.

While managing her part-time career in sports, Alyssa also pursued opportunities in conference planning and government work. She worked as a Conference Coordinator for the American Society of Civil Engineers, before transitioning into the government sector with Leidos, supporting the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs. Alyssa spent a decade at USAMRDC, and in November 2023, she transitioned to a civilian role with the Defense Health Agency, where she manages the service contract review program across the entire agency.
