Alyssa, Our Local Expert Guiding Your Move
Alyssa is a PA lifer who has moved so often she's learned to never give away boxes after a move. After 12 moves throughout the state, she's learned that every Pennsylvania town has opinions, mostly about hoagies, traffic, which gas station chain you are loyal to, and how to properly use the second person plural pronoun to address a group of people (hint: it is NOT "you all"). She knows the cultural borders between Philly, Pittsburgh, and the Central T and can pronounce Wilkes-Barre, Schuylkill, and Duquesne without tripping over her tongue. She spends her free time threading yarn, tearing through novels (200/year), and feeding a house full of Star Wars loving kids. At Snappy Scout, Alyssa converts a lifetime of Pennsylvania knowledge into usable PA wisdom... so youse need to listen up!
