Alisha!


Hi! I'm Alisha Harris. I'm a super senior (5th year) at UMD. I am a dual degree student majoring in Theater (with a concentration in costume design) and Spanish with a TESOL minor. I grew up in a small town in Montgomery County, Maryland so I love nature and hiking and camping, but I also really love the city life. On campus, I'm a member of the The Love Movement, a group that aims to create a positive impact on the world through social actions and interactions, as well as the resident costume designer for The Weekday Players, a completely student produced theater group. Some of my favorite things to do in my spare time are cooking, baking, reading, and shopping. I've never participated in an Alternative Breaks Program, but I'm really excited about it. I agree that the issues our nation has with regards to hunger and homelessness need to be addressed and I am interested to see how they manifest themselves in a big city like Chicago. I view hunger and shelter as such basic simple needs that have the power to create such a significant impact on a person's life. I'm looking forward to learning more about these issues as well as ways in which I can help combat it because I'm always actively seeking ways to empower others and help change their lives for the better. I love meeting new people, so come talk to me and let's get to know each other!
