something in the medical field might be right up your alley

Since you excel in science and math, something in the medical field might be right up your alley.

Hi,
Does 'right up your alley" in the above mean "intrigue/interest you?" If yes, why does it mean so? Could you shed some light? Thanks.

Hi Angliholic If something is "right up your alley" it is interesting to you or it suits your abilities. "Your alley" is similar to saying "your area (of interest/expertise)" .
