Miss New Jersey, will be competing in the Miss America 2021 
competition. Alyssa is a lifelong resident of Cape May County Court

works in the news industry at PHL17. Her social impact initiative, Peer 
Challenge Commit 2 Character, educates teenagers on the dangers of 
risk-taking behaviors and their ability to derail their futures. She 
speaks to young people about how to lead a healthy lifestyle surrounded 
by positivity and people who raise them higher. Alyssa should be 
incredibly proud of her hard work and accomplishments. I wish her the 
best of luck in December. God Bless Alyssa, and God Bless America.
