Alyssa Viscardo

Business Analytics and Managerial Economics, 2022

Alyssa Viscardo ‘22, was inspired to study at the Barney School due to her initial passion for economics. Specifically, she was drawn to analytics. Due to her astounding work ethic, she will graduate this upcoming Winter with her business analytics and managerial economics degree. Alyssa’s hard work in the classroom earned her a job opportunity for post-graduation at KPMG.

UHart gave me the tools that helped shape the opportunities that I have today. Without the support from my professors and peers I wouldn’t have been able to be where I am today.
