ALYSSA BURNS COMMUNICATIONS

I grew up in a family of journalists. My mother went to Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism when only five (5) out of 50 people in the class were women. She served on the Pulitzer Prize Committee and was a member of the Women's Press Club of New York City. My father's entire career was in the newspaper business. He was an engaging storyteller. Dinner conversations revolved around current events, what books we were reading and our constant craving for knowledge. I liked asking questions, finding out what made people "tick," and became an active listener at a young age.
