Alyssa Guarino was promoted to Editorial Assistant and joined our staff in the summer of 2011. Prior to her new position at PSG, Alyssa was a Spring 2011 Intern. Alyssa is a student at Emerson College. She will be beginning her senior year in the Fall, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Writing, Literature and Publishing with a Science minor.

As a high school student in Wakefield and at Emerson itself, she has participated as an editor and contributor to many literary magazines, including Emerson’s Writer’s Block Anthology and Gangsters in Concrete, as well as the Wakefield Memorial High School newsletter.  She also tutored algebra and served as a lifeguard and aquatics instructor at the Burbank YMCA in Reading and the Boys and Girls Club of Woburn.

Alyssa describes herself as “hardworking, meticulous, and eager to learn.” Perhaps it was her five years spent as a page in the Wakefield Library and her knowledge of the Dewey decimal system that make her so attentive to detail, and her grammar expertise forms the basis of her mantra that “efficiency is key to any successful work environment.”

As part of the PSG team, Alyssa hopes to learn as much about the publishing industry as possible, with focus on copyediting, fact-checking, and marketing. While aspiring to be a novelist, she also considers pursuing a Masters of Fine Arts or a science degree should she decide to pursue her interests in science writing.

Alyssa is a fan of Madeleine L’Engle and cannot live without Scientific American, The Wall Street Journal, and the Outlander series. With an eager mind and a hunger for knowledge, Alyssa is a great addition to the team.
