Alyssa joins us with extensive experience in library services, team management, and customer support, having previously worked with Jackson County Library Services, Ledyard Public Library, and the Public Library of New London.

Brian Pichman, Head of Support, has recently commented on Alyssa joining the ByWater Solutions team.

We are excited to welcome Alyssa to ByWater Solutions. Her experience and passion for libraries align perfectly with our mission to provide exceptional service and innovative solutions to our partners."

Alyssa began working in libraries as a shelver at her college library in Connecticut but she didn't fall in love with them until she worked at a public library in Oregon. It was there that she really understood the depth and breadth of what a library does for its community. Now, she is proud to work at Bywater where she can support the incredible library staff members who do this important work!

She currently lives in Rhode Island with her partner and their cat. In her free time she likes to draw, paint, play Magic the Gathering, go to the beach, cinema, or go see some live music.
