Alyssa Cano is currently majoring in Communications, though she plans to transition into Counseling when she transfers to a university. While she first chose Communications as a safe option, she recently discovered her passion for mental health and now has a clear vision for her future. Cano hopes to become a mental health therapist, continue her education by earning a Master’s degree, and eventually move to Scotland, where she also plans to travel and explore new experiences.

Outside of her academic goals, Cano enjoys hobbies that bring her peace and happiness. She loves music, is a self-proclaimed horror movie fanatic, and appreciates spending time outdoors, especially stargazing or being out when it rains. She also values the time she spends with her siblings, and she finds coloring books, paired with a cup of tea, to be one of the most relaxing and comforting ways to unwind.

Cano’s journey is still unfolding, but she’s already discovered the direction she wants to take. With her compassion, love of nature, and sense of adventure, she’s preparing for a future that combines supporting others with experiencing the world.
