A little bit about me

Hey there, I'm Alice! My preferred pronouns are they/she/he. I'm a senior at Columbia College Chicago studying Public Relations, with a focus in sustainability. After so much time on zoom the last two years, I'm looking to spend more time connecting in person while finishing up school.
I grew up in a big family, so I was always chasing around nieces/nephews/cousins and love spending time with children.
I love learning, asking questions, and being asked questions! I think that so much of who we are in life comes from listening to those around us, so I try to always listen as well as share about myself.
I have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, but my schedule is open and flexible other than that.
