Nikiya Alfred (UIC ‘23)
Hello, everyone. My name is Nikiya Alfred. I’m a second-year college student from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a passion for problem-solving issues in the CPS system. As an Urban Education major with a concentration in English Language Arts, I want to explore more on Educational policy. In high school, I was apart of the Poetry Club. I occasionally purchase journals from 5 Below to practice creative writing. This is the perfect opportunity for me to build relationships with other women who have a passion for writing. Please follow me on Instagram @Silvery Blue.
