Alyssa Smith
Graduate Teaching Assistant at Portland State University
Ph.D student, Geology studying Igneous Petrology
My main research interests are in isotope Geochemistry and Igneous Petrology, particularly applied to magmatic processes. Outside of my own research, I am an advocate for diversity and inclusion in the Geosciences and am passionate about making science more accessible to the public. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree at Northern Arizona University and will begin a Ph.D at Portland State University in Fall 2021.

Customer Service Representative
I was trained in many, many areas of the store, but my main job was at the Customer Service desk. In this position, I helped lead cashiers, troubleshoot technical problems at the store front, handle returns, organize go-backs and defective items, and de-escalate the occasional situation with disgruntled customers. My biggest strengths in this position were remaining calm under pressure and keeping a friendly, personable demeanor.
