Alissa Marie Mattei is the Panrimo Coordinator for Italy and is excited to show students around the country. Alissa is available 24/7 for support. She is a Panrimo staff member and will assist students during their orientation period and final events. She will also assist students throughout the semester and summer when needed.

Alissa was born and raised in Michigan, having graduated with degrees in business and communication from Western Michigan University. Traveling the US for work and speaking with many nationalities made her yearn for understanding her own past. She returned to Montepiano and Bologna, Italy to retrace her family’s roots. Tapping back into her Italian heritage, Alissa is excited to welcome Panrimo students and show them the secrets and sights of all the romantic and bustling cities of Italy.
