Alice grew up in Illinois, studying anthropology and environmental policy at Northwestern University.  Her love of gardening and little-known varieties of plants led to an interest in seed banking and climate resilience.  While in law school, student-led movements for fossil fuel divestment and racial justice were among Alice’s most formative experiences; she also interned at the Sierra Club and the California Office of the Attorney General.  Alice is licensed to practice law in the State of Washington.
