Technically, GA is a small school. Still, getting to know all 344 of us is a near impossibility. So we’re resurrecting a fun feature from GAP past, wherein we randomly select a student to profile. Freshman Alessia Cutaia is in her second year at GA. She plays field hockey for JV (go Alessia!) and she likes to read, bake, and play with her dog. She also has an older brother who does not go to Brunswick. Alessia also happens to be a member of GAP!
