About me: Hi everyone! My name is Alice, and I'm double-majoring in Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies (GWSS) and Law, Societies, and Justice (LSJ). I'm passionate about social justice, informing my academic and career interests. I'm on a pre-law path, hoping to pursue a type of law that aligns with my values and commitment to justice. When I'm not studying, you can find me baking (cookies are my specialty), hiking, reading, or discovering the best coffee spots, especially here in Seattle! I've got plenty of recommendations, so feel free to ask! Being part of the Interdisciplinary Honors Program has been the highlight of my UW experience. It's given me the space to explore and blend my diverse interests, connect with inspiring peers, and form lifelong friendships. If you ever want to chat about honors or anything else, I'm here to share my experiences, both the good and the challenging. Let's connect!
