Hey future Ubus, I’m Schade! You could call me Alex, but I might have to give you a strange look. It’s a long story I’d love to tell you sometime.

I came to Duke from NYC by way of much of Eastern Africa. I blame growing up in Nairobi for why I have an absurdly dismal understanding of 2000s-era pop-culture references.

At Duke I’m in Army ROTC, so I spend a lot of time feeling like I am the only person on campus that is awake at 5am. I’m a PubPol major, and I focus on Foreign Policy and National Security. I love it, and I intend to use my major to one day become Queen of the World. (Not kidding – that was/is a legitimate life goal. If you’re nice to me, I might let you be the governor of a small island somewhere).

Much Love,
Schade
