Alyssa Schoenwaelder
With a decade of copywriting, strategizing and design experience, Alyssa Schoenwaelder brings versatile marketing, PR and communications experience to the committee. Truth be told, Alyssa didn’t like to write much as a kid. Because writing meant spelling, and she was told you can’t be creative when it comes to spelling. Well isn’t that a bunch of bologna? Or wait, is that baloney? Either way, she’s come a long way since then. She recently left her full-time agency gig to stay busy freelancing, volunteering and instilling a love of creativity (and spelling) in her young son. You can reach her at alyssa.coe@gmail.com.
