About A l i c i a

Alicia Kwok is a senior at Stuyvesant High School and a very excited first-time mentee with Girls Write Now. She lives in Chinatown, where she likes to complain about tourists and chain-smokers and chain-smoking tourists. She also enjoys writing poetry, listening to too many podcasts, pretending she understands animation, and eating soap-flavored jelly beans. She thinks about bursting into song more than she'd like you to believe.
