About me:

Hey everyone! I'm Alfred and I am a rising junior studying Physics and Government, but that is very much subject to change. I am particularly passionate about everything to do with global affairs and foreign policy. Although I was born and raised in Wales, I am also half Danish and a proud member of the Harvard Nordic Club! I have now done FIP as both a participant and a leader and it has genuinely been my favourite part of Harvard so far! I have met so many amazing people who have become some of my closest friends today.

In my spare time, I absolutely love travelling and hiking. In fact, I took a gap year to do exactly that! I spent several weeks trekking in the Himalayas and spent some months living in a Buddhist monastery in Nepal. This summer, I will likely be working for an NGO in Belgrade, Serbia. Please reach out if you have any questions!
