Alyssa has spent the past decade working to improve the social sector. She started her career at the Duckworth Lab at the University of Pennsylvania, where she studied psychological determinants of success. She was particularly interested in understanding what helps individuals to persevere through hardship and reach their full potential. This experience opened her eyes to the countless systemic factors that pose a threat to individuals’ success. Since that point, she’s held research positions with the Wharton Social Impact Initiative, Ashoka, and ImpactED, and Monitor Institute by Deloitte. Through each of these opportunities, Alyssa has used research to support organizations to provide greater opportunity to the individuals whom they serve. Currently, Alyssa serves as the owner and operator of her own consulting business, Alyssa Matteucci Consulting LLC.
