Biography

Hi! My name is Alice, and I am a junior in Winthrop House from Philadelphia, pursuing a joint concentration in Government and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations (focusing on Modern Middle Eastern Studies). I'm excited to be serving as a Peer Concentration Counselor, and to help with anything from selecting IR courses to studying abroad as a Government concentrator. 

At Harvard, I am the Writing Chair of the Harvard International Review, for which I interview global leaders, research, and write on international affairs and human rights issues. I've worked as a Undergraduate Research Scholar at the Harvard Institute for Quantitative Social Science and as a fellow for a community-based development project in Guatemala. Additionally, I tutor displaced Syrian students through Paper Airplanes and also for PBHA's Youth Prison Tutoring. I spent the past two summers interning at the Human Rights Watch headquarters in New York, teaching HSYLC seminars on IR in Shanghai, and studying Arabic in Amman, Jordan as a U.S. Department of State's Critical Language Scholarship recipient.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions! I would be more than happy to chat about choosing courses, deciding on joint concentrations, finding funding for traveling and internships, language studies, American foreign policy, international law, education equality, adjusting to college, the newest eateries in Cambridge/Boston, and anything else of interest. I look forward to hearing from you!
