Wilson Early College Academy - Alyssa Crane
BIOGRAPHY: My name is Alyssa Crane and I am a part of Wilson Early College Academy’s Class of 2024! I’m the oldest child with one younger sister, and we live with our parents, two cats, and a dog. I love design, color, painting- all things art, really. I’ll be pursuing these passions further at UNC Chapel Hill’s Hussman School of Journalism and Media in the Fall. I will also be enrolled in Honors Carolina and the UNC Scholars program. I am incredibly stoked about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead of me. Apart from that, I dabble in electric guitar and enjoy taking the time to appreciate a groovy tune. I make and sell original paintings and jewelry which has been my hustle for the past four years now. Of course, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, pets, and my boyfriend. I’d say I am particularly extroverted; however, my alone time is valued. Here are a few things on my bucket list you should keep an eye out for: filming a music video, creating a cartoon, having my art tattooed on someone, making an impact, and inspiring others on the way!
