Please join us in welcoming Alyssa Castronuovo to the OpenStreetMap US team! Alyssa joins the team from Richmond, Virginia, having worn many hats from event planning, volunteer coordination, and fundraising in the nonprofit world. As the program coordinator, Alyssa is here to be a resource and collaborator for all mappers and programs within the OSM US community, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to her!
Alyssa has always had a deep passion for maps and found every excuse to center them in her work for her Anthropology and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies degrees at William & Mary. She started contributing to OpenStreetMap in 2021 by using StreetComplete on neighborhood walks, and has been falling deeper down the rabbit hole ever since.
In her free time Alyssa loves playing board games, knitting, cuddling her cat, and exploring the parks and restaurants of Richmond with her partner.
