It was her baby-sitter who took her for an open audition of national tour of Musical Annie. Alyssa beat more than some hundreds of participants and secured her place in the tour of Annie when she was of age around seven. She was definitely cherished for her talent and work.

Hot on the heels of her success she got the chance to perform at the age of ten in her first ever role in "Who’s The Boss?" For eight years, she brought the character of "Samantha Micelli" to life on the top-rated series. After the show completed its last season in 1992, she continued to hone her talents on both the big and small screen. Her family had to make a decision to move to Hollywood because of the problem Alyssa was facing regarding her typical Brooklyn accent. Alyssa then had started getting interesting offers for roles in various television, film and musical productions. She was offered a part of Adele in the musical version of Jayne Eyre.

In 1995 Alyssa was in an episode of the tv sci-fi series "The Outer Limits" in which she played a young woman who comes into contact with an alien lifeform that turns her into a raging sex maniac.
